Dressed in a vibrant Gold/Orange pattern, the metallic finish on this specimen catches light effectively even in deeper water columns. This specific unit, identified by product code 7497, remains in its original packaging, preserving its unused condition. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the body is built for targeting species like walleye, salmon, and bass. The elongated diving bill facilitates depths of 5–6.5 ft (1.5–2 m) when casting, while trolling can push the lure down to 8–10 ft (2.4–3 m). As a Deep Diver model, the manufacturer's notes indicate it is capable of reaching depths as great as 20 ft (6 m) under specific trolling setups. Originating from the Cotton Cordell facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA, the lure features a detailed scale texture and high-contrast eyes. The hardware is in pristine state, reflecting its well-kept status as a vintage find for any serious angler’s collection.
