Vintage Heddon Sonic, 1/4oz black fishing lure #22142

Stamped clearly with the HEDDON SONIC mark along its lower flank, this lipless sinking lure showcases the classic profile that became a hallmark of the American brand. The solid black body is decorated with a distinct cream-colored lightning bolt graphic, complemented by vintage yellow eyes with dark pupils. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing a nimble 1/4 oz (7 g), this model (product code 22142) is built for a sinking presentation, intended for reaching deeper water columns where perch and pike typically hold. A visible lead weight is integrated into the belly, a testament to Heddon's functional design for casting stability. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and original hardware that reflects its history as a USA-made classic. The top-mounted line tie is positioned to stabilize the lure during various retrieve speeds.
