A vibrant yellow and gold scale pattern covers the upper half of this classic Japanese-made swimmer. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and weighing in at 3/16oz (5.5g), this Herter's Lazy Iver Japan (Product Code: 23677) showcases the distinctive banana-shaped profile typical of mid-century trolling and casting plugs. The finish transitions smoothly from a scaled gold top to bright yellow sides, meeting a clean white belly. A notable visual detail is the subtle pink accent on the trailing tail section. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy screw-eye hangers, which remain bright and well-preserved. This specimen earns a solid 5/5 condition rating, showing very few signs of its age or time in a tackle box. This particular model reflects Herter's history of sourcing high-quality tackle from Japan to provide anglers with effective, well-crafted tools. The line tie is positioned at the front of the curve to stabilize the lure's path through the water column.
