Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley PowerBait Power Rattle, 1/2oz Mirror fishing lure #9782

A reflective Mirror finish covers the nose of the Berkley PowerBait Power Rattle, which tips the scales at 1/2oz (14g). This hybrid design, designated as product code 9782, combines a hard-body rattling head with interchangeable soft plastic tails. The chrome-like head section features a distinct yellow eye and a red throat accent, leading into a secure attachment point for the scented tails. Included with this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) lure are two distinct PowerBait tail options—a long blue sparkle version and a shorter, dark red-flake tail—allowing for profile adjustments while casting or trolling at variable depths. The belly is equipped with a clean treble hook attached via a robust split ring. As a well-preserved specimen, it maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing no visible wear on the metallic head or the soft plastic components. The line tie is positioned on the top of the head, designed to maintain stability during retrieval through the water column.
