At the terminal end, the treble hook is expertly dressed with a natural squirrel tail featuring brown, black, and white fibers, all secured with a vibrant red thread tie. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.7 g), the lure utilizes a silver-finished blade embossed with a distinct scale pattern that catches the light effectively. The overall condition is rated 5/5, showing exceptionally clean metal surfaces and well-maintained dressing on the hook.
