Stamped clearly onto the nickel-finished teardrop blade are the authentic markings that identify this USA-made classic. Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (5 g), this compact lure measures 2" (5 cm) and utilizes a simple safety-pin style wire frame construction. The unpainted lead jig head is rigged with a soft plastic split-tail grub in a Yellow / White color pattern. Cataloged under product code 23914, the hardware on this specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining a clean luster on the swivel and wire. This design has been a favorite for panfish anglers for decades due to the way the overhead blade is positioned above the hook point.
