Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the Big Fish Tackle Bait-Cradle represents a clever era of American lure design. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this specimen carries product code 20623 and displays the characteristic hybrid construction the brand was known for. The body is divided between a bright silver chrome finish with raised aerodynamic ridges and a dark, granular black section that creates a high-contrast profile. A single heavy-gauge hook is fixed to the metal frame, currently rigged with an amber soft plastic curly tail filled with gold glitter. This 'cradle' setup was intended to marry the flash of a spoon with the texture of a soft bait. The silver plating remains bright with only minor superficial marks, and the hook point is still sharp, resulting in a solid 4/5 condition rating. The heavy-duty line tie at the nose is a hallmark of Big Fish Tackle's focus on durability for substantial catches.
