Vintage Heddon Dying Flutter, 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #23868

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this specimen represents a classic piece of American angling history from the Heddon workshop. The Fire Tiger finish on this 4" (10cm) body features a vibrant yellow top contrasted by a bright silver belly, accented with distinctive vertical markings. Fixed with dual propellers at both the nose and tail, this topwater lure is built for surface casting. The hardware includes two treble hooks, one belly-mounted and one trailing at the rear, attached with durable screw-eye fittings. Looking closely at the head, the traditional painted eyes feature a bold black pupil ringed in yellow, a signature detail for these USA-made models. This specific lure, identified by product code 23868, displays a well-preserved finish with a condition rating of 4/5. The metallic plating on the lower half has retained its luster against the yellow pigments.
