Stamped clearly on the underside, the "River Runt Spook Floater" identification confirms this 12g (2/5oz) plastic classic is a genuine piece of American angling history. Measuring 8cm (3 1/4") in length, the body features the iconic Red Head Shore Minnow pattern, characterized by a translucent base accented with a striking red face and dark, skeletal ribbing along the flanks. Heddon’s use of "Spook" plastic technology is evident here, showing the durability that made these lures staples in tackle boxes across the USA. The metal diving lip is securely attached with two screws, designed to pull the floater beneath the surface on a steady retrieve. Displaying a condition rating of 4/5, the lure shows gentle signs of time that suggest it was well-cared for. Collectors tracking specific iterations will note the Product Code 21793 associated with this particular specimen. A black horizontal stripe runs mid-body, providing a sharp contrast against the mesh-like scale texture printed on the sides.
