Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sonar 433, 1/2oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #1530

Three distinct line-tie holes along the dorsal ridge define the versatility of this 1/2 oz (14 g) blade lure, allowing for technical adjustments to water resistance during the retrieve. Stamped with the product code 1530, this Heddon Sonar 433 measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and showcases a classic yellow body accented by a red head and tail tip. The paint features a well-preserved honeycomb scale pattern across the flanks, where the name "HEDDON SONAR" remains clearly visible. By moving the line tie closer to the head, resistance is reduced, enabling a faster retrieve. This American-made specimen is in 4/5 condition, presenting as a clean and well-maintained piece of vintage hardware. The belly is weighted specifically under the head to facilitate its sinking nature, while two sharp treble hooks are secured to the frame, ready for the water or a collector's display.
