Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tadpolly, 1/3oz silver fishing lure #22570

At 1/3oz (10g), the silver finish on this 3 1/4" (8cm) specimen shows the honest wear of a vintage lure with a 3/5 condition rating. Product code 22570 identifies this Heddon Tadpolly, which was built for reaching depths of 13ft (4m) while maintaining its course. The integrated metal lip and streamlined body design are engineered so that the wobbler does not track off-center, even when retrieved quickly in heavy currents. On this particular piece, there is noticeable paint loss on the underside and edges of the lip, showing its history of use without compromising the structural integrity of the USA-made body. Two treble hooks are attached, featuring a dark finish that contrasts with the silver exterior. The line-tie eyelet is seated firmly in the center of the lip, ensuring the intended balance remains intact.
