Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sonar 433, 1/2oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #11052

Nickel and red finishes define the classic look of this Heddon Sonar 433, which weighs in at 1/2 oz (14 g). Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm), the metal blade construction features the model name and product code 11052 stamped in red lettering along the side. Along the top edge, three precise attachment points provide options for adjusting water resistance based on your retrieval speed—using the hole closest to the red head offers the least resistance for faster movement. This specific unit, rated 5/5, retains its vibrant yellow eyes and is rigged with two sharp treble hooks. Manufactured in the USA, the design showcases Heddon's legacy of producing adaptable metal lures for varied casting conditions.
