Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sonic, 1/3oz yellow fishing lure #18919

Bold yellow paint with a striking black lightning bolt pattern defines this vintage Heddon Sonic, cataloged as product code 18919. At a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this USA-made sinking lure weighs 1/3 oz (8.5 g), making it a substantial choice for reaching depth when targeting perch and pike. The 'SONIC' name is clearly stamped on the lower flank, showcasing the sharp production standards of the era. This specimen earns a 5/5 rating, exhibiting a clean finish and well-preserved hardware, from the top-mounted line tie to the two original treble hooks. Red accents on the nose and the distinctive dorsal fin provide high-contrast visual triggers against the bright yellow body. Designed for a hyper-active presentation, the lure's flat-sided profile and weighted belly allow it to sink steadily through the water column.
