Museum Archive: Vintage Helin Tackle Helin Fishcake, 1/4oz black/glitter fishing lure #18758

Crafted from solid wood, this 2" (5cm) surface lure showcases the distinct manufacturing style of Helin Tackle during its American production era. The deep black body is accented by a heavy dusting of silver hexagonal glitter, a finish that has held up remarkably well over time. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this specimen features a black metal propeller at the nose designed for surface-level disruption at a 0ft (0m) depth. The hardware setup includes two sharp treble hooks secured by vintage wire hangers, characteristic of this 18758 product code model. Collectors will appreciate the 4/5 condition rating, as the paint remains vibrant and the silver glitter retains its original metallic shimmer against the dark wood.
