Vibrant Frog patterns cover the compact body of the Eddie Pope Hot Shot M 5, a design synonymous with North American river fishing. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure features a green back that blends into a soft yellow underside, complete with dark spotting and high-contrast yellow eyes. The prominent diving lip bears a clear "HOT-SHOT-M" stamp, confirming its model lineage. Designed for high-performance trolling, it utilizes a specialized wire-line tie at the nose and a single belly-mounted treble hook. This specimen carries the Product Code 23679 and maintains a 5/5 condition, with its original USA-made construction and paint finish looking very sharp. The sharp taper of the nose and the broadness of the back are key technical traits that collectors look for in this specific model.
