Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley PowerBait Power Rattle Lipless, 1/2oz Silver / Red / Blue fishing lure #10396

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this hybrid rattle bait integrates a weighted metal head with the soft-plastic appeal of Berkley’s PowerBait tails. The Silver/Red/Blue finish presents a striking contrast, featuring a polished silver head with a blue-painted top and a deep blue body saturated with reflective blue glitter. This 2 1/2" (6.5cm) specimen carries the Product Code 10396 and remains in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, well-preserved surface. Designed as a sinking lipless lure, it operates at variable depths depending on the retrieve for casting or trolling. A secondary red and black glitter tail is included, allowing for field swaps to adjust the visual profile. Originally manufactured in the USA, the design targets a broad spectrum of predators including perch, zander, salmon, and pike. The hardware consists of a top-mounted line tie and a sharp belly treble hook attached directly to the metal forebody.
