Stamped clearly on the teardrop-shaped blade is the Cabela’s name alongside a size '1' designation, marking this as a classic piece of American-made terminal tackle. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame terminating in a single hook. The body assembly utilizes a combination of weights and attractors, including a brass-toned cone, a ribbed silver-colored bead, and a bright orange bead for a distinct visual profile. At 1/8 oz (4 g), it is a nimble option for finessing smaller waters. This particular 1541 model has been well-preserved, showing only the lightest signs of age and earning a 4/5 condition rating. The hammered nickel finish on the blade provides a textured surface that reflects light from multiple angles during the retrieve. A simple wire loop at the front allows for a direct tie-on or connection to a small snap.
