Museum Archive: Vintage Finlandia Uistin Wobbler , 1/4oz Natural fishing lure #1302

Measuring 6" (15 cm) in length, this wooden minnow-style lure from Finland captures the early design principles of the mid-1960s. Produced by Finlandia Uistin around 1963-1965, the body features a Natural color palette with a dark spine fading into golden-silver scales on the flanks. Significant to its history are the visible tooth marks along the sides, proof of its effectiveness on the water and contributing to its 3/5 condition rating. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g), the slender profile is equipped with two treble hooks and a clear diving lip, categorized under Product Code 1302. Its construction reflects the transition from handmade folk lures to more standardized production in the Nordic region during that era.
