Museum Archive: Other Dolphin Classics minnow (Japan), 1/8oz Silver fishing lure #21348

Gleaming with a classic silver finish, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) minnow from the FJ Neil Company remains unused within its original late-1980s packaging. The Japanese-made plastic body is paired with genuine Mustad & McGill hardware, a specific technical detail highlighted on the vintage carding. At 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure serves as a lightweight floating tool intended to reach depths of 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) when applied with steady retrieves or stop-and-go techniques. Part of the Dolphin Classics series under item # TAB-250, the card includes a distinct 08 89 date stamp. This specimen is cataloged under product code 21348.
