Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sounder, 3/16oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #19981

Nickel and blue are the primary colors on this 2 1/2-inch (6.5 cm) Heddon Sounder. Four circular ports are drilled through the metal body, which gave this trolling spoon its distinctive name. Weighing 3/16 oz (5.5 g), the lure displays a polished nickel finish accented by a textured blue holographic insert that catches light at various angles. This specific item, identified by product code 19981, showcases the quality expected from Heddon's USA production history. The hardware consists of a single large hook secured by a split ring at the rear. Every aspect of the nickel plating and blue insert is well-preserved, reflecting a condition rating of 5/5.
