Silver scales and a distinct horizontally-ribbed texture define the finish of this vintage minnow. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g) and stretching 4 3/4" (12cm) in length, this Herter's Spoonbill Minnow represents a classic design from Japan. The lure features a large, clear spoon-shaped diving bill, which is the defining characteristic of the model. Its profile is accented by yellow eyes with deep black pupils, giving it a focused appearance. For securing a catch, it is equipped with three bronze-colored treble hooks spaced along the belly and tail. Rated at 4/5, the specimen shows light signs of age while the silver finish maintains its metallic sheen. Identified by product code 20582, this lure showcases the utility and simple aesthetics common in Herter’s imported tackle. The clear plastic lip is stamped with the Japan origin mark, confirming its specific production era.
