Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Zara Gossa, 1/4oz silver fishing lure #20822

Visible on the side of the silver body is the classic "ZARA GOSSA" stamp, identifying this jointed Heddon sinking lure under product code 20822 as a genuine rarity. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7 g) with a 4" (10 cm) profile, it carries a silver finish that still catches the light well despite some signs of use. You'll notice those subtle pink accents near the front eye, a nice touch on this two-piece design meant for casting or trolling at variable depths. The hardware consists of two dark treble hooks, and the lure itself is categorized as a noisy, jerky-style bait. It’s a 4/5 condition piece that collectors of USA-made tackle will recognize, originally aimed at pike, zander, and trout.
