Three faceted red glass beads are securely riveted into the center of the nickel-plated body, catching light in a way that modern finishes cannot replicate. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) and weighing 3/4oz (21g), this Lane's Sparkl-l Wobbler, product code 12838, is a fine example of the craftsmanship that defined Lanes Tackle & Bait during their operational years from 1935 to the early 1980s. The bright nickel surface remains well-preserved, showcasing the clear manufacturer's stamp and patent-pending status associated with their USA production. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure retains its original luster and structural integrity across the metal surface. The heavy-duty construction is designed for casting or trolling, paired with a reliable treble hook and sturdy split rings at both ends. Those translucent red beads, often referred to as the "Red Eyes" variant, are the signature feature of this model, positioned centrally to provide visual contrast against the reflective metal. Every detail, from the stamped lettering to the secure bead setting, highlights the durability expected of mid-century American tackle.
