Painted in a striking yellow finish with vibrant red accents and silver scale patterns, this vintage lure represents one of the most storied designs in American angling history. At a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) and a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Heddon River Runt Midget (Product Code 7953) is a neutral-buoyancy specimen that first made its appearance in 1935. The body exhibits a condition rating of 4/5, showing light evidence of previous use through minor paint wear near the eye and hardware points. The silver ribbing on the sides remains distinct, providing a metallic contrast against the yellow base. It features the signature metal diving lip and dual treble hooks, reflecting the robust construction standards Heddon was known for during this era. The red coloring around the eyes is well-preserved, maintaining the visual character that made the River Runt a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
