Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sonar 433, 1/2oz White / Red fishing spoon #1538

White paint covers most of the blade, transitioning to a classic red head on this Heddon Sonar 433, identified by product code 1538. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this blade lure features the characteristic stamped lettering along the side. The 1/2 oz (14 g) weight provides the density needed for both deep-water jigging and long-distance casting. A standout technical detail is the trio of attachment holes along the spine; choosing the hole closest to the head minimizes water resistance to facilitate a faster retrieve. The original treble hooks are intact, and while the paint shows light wear and small chips on the weighted head and blade edges, the overall condition is a solid 4/5. Proudly made in the USA, the metal body retains its distinct profile and clear manufacturer markings.
