Museum Archive: Other Gambler soft bait , Dark Red fishing #6593

Measuring 5 inches (12.7 cm) in length, these soft plastic P. Tails feature a deep, translucent Dark Red—referenced as Red Shad on the original packaging. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 6593, represents a classic era of American-made soft baits from Gambler. The body transitions from a ribbed torso into a thin neck that supports a prominent, spoon-shaped paddle tail. This particular bag is enhanced with B.A.N.G. Pure Craw & Shad oils, a scent technology that was a signature feature of Gambler products intended to help mask human odors. While the original retail sticker indicates a 15-count, this vintage pack currently contains 13 pieces. The lures remain in unused condition, preserved within the original yellow and orange branded zip-top bag.
