Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen is a classic example of post-war French tackle engineering. Weighing 1/3oz (10g), the Vivif (Product Code 17470) showcases the mid-century shift toward soft-tail technology for targeting species like perch. The body features a dark black head and spine that transitions into a textured, silvery scale pattern along the belly, paired with a smooth, grey tail section. A striking red eye with a yellow ring provides a focal point near the front tow point. A single black dorsal fin is positioned centrally, and a bronze-toned double hook is mounted securely to the underside. Originating from France in the 1940s, this lure represents early innovations in flexible swimbait design. The condition is 5/5, with the pliable tail and painted details remaining incredibly well-preserved.
