Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley Frenzy Diver , 2/5oz Copper fishing lure #8912

Copper scale patterns wrap the translucent body of this Berkley Frenzy Diver, which carries the product code 8912. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure is a classic choice for anglers targeting perch, asp, or pike. It is designed for both casting and trolling techniques, reaching a specific diving depth of 5 ft (1.5 m). The metallic finish is complemented by detailed gill etchings and a distinct black lateral spot near the head. A clear, sturdy diving lip is integrated into the nose to facilitate its descent from a floating position. While the body remains well-preserved, visual inspection shows some oxidation and aging on the original treble hooks. Given the clean state of the finish and the condition of the hardware, this specimen earns a 4/5 rating.
