Museum Archive: Vintage Backstabber Stabber , 1/2oz fishing lure #21907

Featuring a distinctive top-mounted treble hook, the Backstabber Stabber is engineered to navigate structure-heavy waters where standard belly hooks often snag. This 1/2 oz (14 g) crankbait measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and utilizes a shallow square bill to reach depths between 0-4 ft (0-1.2 m). The plastic body, identified by product code 21907, displays a shad-imitation pattern with a prominent black shoulder spot, a bright yellow lateral line, and red detailing around the head. Its internal rattling chamber provides a clear acoustic signature during the retrieve. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure shows excellent preservation of its reflective scale finish and original hardware. Backstabber Lures positioned the primary hook on the spine to allow the lure body itself to act as a deflector when bumping against submerged timber or rocks.
