Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Tiny Torpedo G finish, 1/8oz G finish fishing lure #23785

A vibrant G finish provides a soft, rainbow-like iridescence across the 1 1/2-inch (3.5 cm) body of this USA-crafted surface lure. Weighing a delicate 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Heddon Tiny Torpedo, product code 23785, is a floating topwater bait designed for precision casting. The rear-mounted silver propeller is the core of its construction, intended to churn the water's surface while the cigar-shaped body remains buoyant. Its color pattern mimics the subtle hues of a small baitfish, featuring a cream belly that transitions into soft pink and blue tones along the top, accented by dark spots and a yellow-eye detail. This particular specimen is in exceptional 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish across its entire frame. Two treble hooks are securely attached via silver-toned hardware to the belly and the rear propeller shaft. Anglers targeting perch or pike often reach for this specific model when a smaller surface presentation is required to trigger strikes.
