A classic red-and-white finish covers this 3 1/4" (8cm) vintage bait, which remains a cornerstone of American fishing history. Weighing 2/5oz (12g), the specimen features a sturdy metal diving lip and the signature yellow eyes with black pupils that Heddon collectors instantly recognize. The stamped belly identifies this as a River Runt Spook Floater, part of the #9400 series first brought to market in 1935. A subtle honeycomb scale pattern is visible along the sides of the white plastic body, transitioning smoothly from the bold red head. This particular lure, carrying product code 4057, is equipped with two clean treble hooks and shows no signs of wear, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Anglers typically utilize these for casting toward structure, relying on the buoyant body to rise between retrieves. The hardware is firmly attached with original screws, maintaining the structural integrity of this USA-made classic.
