Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tiny Chugger, 1/3oz Black / Rainbow fishing lure #8210

Tipping the scales at a light 1/3 oz (8.5 g), this surface popper remains a favorite for enthusiasts of vintage ultralight gear. The 2 1/4" (6 cm) plastic body is finished in a striking Black / Rainbow pattern, showing a dark head and tail section separated by a silver-white center section. A deep concave mouth is designed for distinct surface interaction at the water line 0 ft (0 m), paired with a single belly treble. Heddon cataloged this specific model under product code 8210, equipping it with a generous black hair tail secured by a vibrant red thread wrap at the rear hanger. The hardware is remarkably clean and the paint retains its original sheen, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Its compact size makes it a specialized tool for a casting setup when targeting active pike or perch. The eye detail consists of a simple painted yellow and black pupil that adds a classic look to the profile.
