Museum Archive: Vintage Aquasonic Lures Aquasonic Deep Baby Noisy, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #11139

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9g), this Aquasonic Lures Inc creation is a standout piece of American tackle engineering. The unique 'self-resonating system' is built directly into the body, utilizing internal chambers and specialized holes to allow water passage, intended to produce sounds recognizable to predators. This Silver-colored specimen features a fine mesh pattern printed over a translucent shell, allowing a view of the internal hardware and resonance spheres. Identified by product code 11139, the lure is designed for both casting and trolling, sporting a long clear-yellowed diving lip for reaching deeper water. The hardware remains in 5/5 condition, featuring two original silver treble hooks and bright yellow eyes with black pupils. Its floating construction showcases the mid-century USA focus on acoustic attraction and experimental body designs.
