Yellow and red hues dominate the finish of this heavy-duty blade lure, showcasing a classic American design. At 1 1/4 oz (35g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm), the Heddon Sonar 435, product code 2820, features a stamped metal body with a series of three line-tie holes along its top edge. These attachment points provide mechanical adjustment; connecting closer to the head reduces water resistance during the retrieve. The paint shows a distinct scale pattern that transitions from a vibrant red nose to a bright yellow body. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows gentle evidence of use, with some thinning of the finish near the lead-weighted belly and around the hook hangers. The original factory stamp 'HEDDON SONAR 435' remains clearly visible on the side. This USA-made specimen is rigged with heavy trebles secured directly to the stamped metal frame.
