Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Baby Torpedo, 1/4oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #15552

Bold Fire Tiger hues across the 2 1/4-inch (6 cm) body make this specific Heddon Baby Torpedo a standout in any vintage tackle collection. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the aerodynamic torpedo shape is complemented by a vibrant paint scheme consisting of dark vertical bars over a green back and a bright orange underbelly. This specimen, identified by product code 15552, is in excellent shape, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. A signature red-painted eye and the clear belly stencil confirm its Heddon pedigree. The rear of the lure features the classic metal propeller, which provides the surface commotion and bubble trail this model is famous for. Two sets of sharp treble hooks are attached via standard belly and tail hardware, ensuring the lure remains a functional piece of angling history.
