Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sonar 433, 1/2oz Red / Yellow / Red fishing spoon #10405

Weighing 1/2oz (14g), this metal blade bait is finished in a striking Red / Yellow / Red pattern that highlights the classic scale stenciling along its sides. The HEDDON SONAR 433 identification is stamped sharply in red on the yellow flank, marking it as a genuine USA-made piece. Its 2 1/4" (6cm) body is designed with three separate attachment holes on the dorsal edge, a functional feature that lets an angler tune the pull of the lure based on water resistance. Utilizing the hole nearest the nose provides lower resistance for faster retrieves, while the rear holes are intended for different depths and techniques. This particular specimen is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its clean paint and intact hardware. The belly and tail carry original treble hooks, and the head is punctuated by a simple yellow-and-black painted eye. Listed under product code 10405, the lure’s color transitions from a deep red nose into a golden-yellow body with dark scale detailing.
