Museum Archive: Heddon Baby Torpedo, 1/4oz Silver / Blue fishing lure #11402

A striking blue-to-silver honeycomb scale pattern distinguishes this Heddon Baby Torpedo, a finish designed to catch light from every angle. This specimen, carrying product code 11402, measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighs 1/4oz (7g). The hallmark of this design is the single stainless steel propeller at the rear, a feature Heddon introduced to create surface disturbance and sound. On the belly, the "HEDDON BABY TORPEDO" lettering is crisp, sitting just above the mid-section treble hook. The lure's nose features a small red accent under the line tie, providing a subtle contrast to the chrome body. This particular lure is unused, maintaining the pristine reflective quality of its Silver / Blue finish. Two sets of sharp treble hooks are attached via traditional hardware, ready for the water.
