Stamped with the iconic jumping bass logo and "1 HEP" above the Heddon name, the polished blade serves as the centerpiece of this American-made spinner. This particular 2" (5 cm) specimen, listed under product code 0162, retains a bright steel finish across both the blade and its weighted, segmented body. A single translucent red bead is positioned as a focal point between the blade and the body, providing a sharp color contrast. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g), the lure features a wire-form construction that terminates in a sturdy, original treble hook. The condition is rated 5/5, reflecting how well the stamped details and metal surfaces have been preserved. This size 1 model was a cornerstone of the Heddon catalog for anglers targeting trout and panfish throughout the mid-20th century in the USA.
