Museum Archive: Vintage Bullet Bait Bullet Blade, 1/3oz Red / White fishing spoon #8021

Cast from a lightweight zinc alloy, this 1/3 oz (10 g) blade represents a distinct design choice by the American manufacturer Bullet Bait. Unlike the structurally similar Heddon Sonar which utilizes lead for weighting, the Bullet Blade (Product Code: 8021) features a monolithic body construction where the entire profile is formed from a single material. This 2" (5 cm) specimen is finished in a high-contrast Red / White color scheme, featuring a vibrant red head and a clean white tail section. A set of oversized yellow eyes with black pupils provides a clear focal point on the lure's forward profile. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, appearing sharp and well-preserved in their original positions. There are three adjustment holes along the top ridge, allowing for different line-tie positions to vary the pull angle. Rated at 5/5 condition, the paint remains vivid and the zinc body shows no signs of wear from use or storage.
