Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley Frenzy FWD4S, 1/2oz Silver Trout fishing lure #8965

Silver Trout coloration defines the aesthetic of a 4" (10cm) minnow profile, showing off a metallic sheen with realistic dark spots and a hint of pink along the sides. Identified by product code 8965, the Berkley Frenzy FWD4S weighs 1/2oz (14g) and is a floating model manufactured in the USA. A clear plastic diving lip is fixed at an angle to take the bait down to depths of 4ft (1.2m), suitable for mid-water presentations. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the finish remaining vibrant and the hardware showing careful preservation. Detailed scale patterns on the head and large, expressive eyes reflect the craftsmanship Berkley applied to this series to mimic live forage. The dual treble hooks are original, securely mounted to the belly and tail for casting or trolling.
