Arched construction defines this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Helin Tackle specimen, a hallmark of a design that has remained a staple for trout anglers for decades. Weighing a mere 3/64 oz (1.5 g), the FlatFish F4 (Product Code 23243) is built for delicate, slow-speed presentations in lakes and small rivers. This American-made lure features the 'red dot' color scheme, characterized by a bright coral-orange body decorated with large, dark circular spots along the dorsal and lateral lines. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the original paint retaining its high-gloss finish and the treble hook showing excellent integrity. Designed as a floating model, it is particularly effective when targeting species like trout, chub, or perch near the surface. The lure is equipped with a standard belly-mounted treble hook and a front tow point for precise line attachment.
