Museum Archive: Matzuo Phantom Minnow, 1/3oz Rainbow Silver fishing lure #9546

Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the Matzuo Phantom Minnow features a refined Rainbow Silver finish that mimics natural forage through its textured, scale-patterned sides. This 3 1/2" (9 cm) suspender is identified by product code 9546 and displays a dark back transitioning into shimmering silver flanks, accented by a distinct red strike point under the throat. Designed as a rattling lure for casting, it is engineered to reach depths between 1-6 ft (0.3-1.8 m). The specimen is in unused condition, showing crisp details on its 3D eyes and clear diving lip. Two sharp treble hooks are fitted to the belly and tail of this USA-manufactured lure.
