Museum Archive: Vintage Crankbait Corp Fingerling, 1/3oz green fishing lure #23924

Weighing exactly 1/3 oz (10g), this vintage specimen from Crankbait Corp demonstrates the intricate, photo-realistic printing techniques used to mimic a small green bass or shad. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), the body is adorned with a detailed green pattern featuring dark lateral mottling and fine gill plate accents that transition into a creamy white belly. This lure is a designated rarity, identified by product code 23924 and crafted in the USA for deepwater applications. The construction includes a substantial clear plastic diving lip, which allows the lure to reach significant depths while maintaining its orientation. Two treble hooks are secured to the underside and tail with split rings, showing light signs of age while remaining sharp and functional. The overall condition is a respectable 4/5, as the finish remains smooth and the fine-print details of the scales and eyes are well-preserved across the entire frame. The belly section shows the transition between the olive tones and the lighter underside where the hardware is centered.
