Silver scaling and a slender profile define this Japanese-made minnow, which remains preserved in its original carded packaging. Distributed by the F.J. Neil Company under product code 21216, the plastic body measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighs 1/8oz (4g). The carded lure features genuine Wright & McGill hooks, a specific hardware collaboration highlighted on the vintage red and blue packaging. As the item remains in its original blister pack, the lure is unused and shows no signs of field wear or exposure. Intended for casting and trolling techniques, the lure is rated for a depth of 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m). The 'Made in Japan' text on the footer of the card identifies its origin for the F.J. Neil Company based in Lindenhurst, NY. A vintage price tag dated '08 89' rests on the card, suggesting this specimen has been preserved since the late eighties.
