Silver scale accents paired with vertical black ribbing characterize this vintage specimen, a design aesthetic Heddon popularized starting in 1935. Weighing 2/5oz (12g), this River Runt Spook Floating #9400 stands out with its Red Head-inspired eye surrounds on a translucent body. At 3" (7.5cm) in length, it remains a quintessential American lure often used for targeting pike in varying water conditions. The hardware includes a robust metal diving lip and twin treble hooks, which are standard components for the 9596 product code. This lure is in beautiful condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved plastic and sharp hardware. The Spook designation refers to the clear plastic body, which allowed anglers of the era to see the internal structure while casting.
