Striking blue-over-silver chrome honeycomb scales wrap the upper half of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) surface plug. This Heddon Baby Torpedo, designated by product code 11712, is a classic topwater choice weighing 1/4 oz (7 g). You’ll notice the crisp "HEDDON BABY TORPEDO" belly stamp located just forward of the central treble hook. The lure features a single metal propeller at the rear, secured by a screw-eye and cup rig, which is designed to churn the surface and create a bubble trail. Its color scheme is finished with a distinct red splash on the chin and yellow-and-black painted eyes. This specimen remains unused, rated at a 6. The hardware is bright and the finish shows no signs of water time or tackle box wear. A forward-facing line tie eyelet sits at the very tip of the nose to maintain the lure's posture during casting and retrieval.
