Museum Archive: Heddon Baby Torpedo , 1/4oz fishing lure #10686

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the compact frame of this Heddon Baby Torpedo is a staple for topwater enthusiasts targeting bass near heavy cover. This specific specimen, bearing product code 10686, weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and features a detailed scale pattern with deep greens and blacks transitioning into a yellow and white underbelly. The head is detailed with large, yellow eyes and a splash of red near the gill plates, providing a lifelike sunfish appearance. A single stainless steel propeller is mounted at the rear, designed to churn the surface and create a bubble trail during the retrieve. The lure is equipped with two sharp, silver-finished treble hooks that show no wear, as the condition of this item is a 6, signifying it is unused. Originating from the USA, the body construction feels solid and ready to withstand surface strikes. The metal hardware, including the screw-eyes and propeller, remains clean and bright.
