A stamped scale pattern adorns the upper half of this silver body, a signature design element for mimicking slender baitfish like the sand lance. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Gibbs Candelfish is a versatile casting lure with a 2 1/4" (6 cm) profile that features deep, legible stamping of the brand and model name directly into the metal. This particular specimen, identified by product code 12788, remains in excellent 5/5 condition with a bright, reflective surface across its entire length. The hardware includes a barrel swivel attached to the nose to mitigate line twist during the retrieve and a classic treble hook at the rear. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's construction relies on a slightly curved metal slab that catches light effectively under the surface. This specimen's silver finish is clean and well-preserved, showcasing the quality of vintage American-made tackle.
