Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the specimen is stamped on the back with "Les Davis 1/4 OZ. HOTROD," confirming its USA heritage. It carries product code 21929 and comes rigged with a standard treble hook and a small red plastic attractor tag on the rear split ring. A barrel swivel is attached to the nose to facilitate smooth operation when casting or trolling. This specimen is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating, with the nickel finish and red accents showing great preservation. The teardrop-style body is a staple of mid-century American tackle, designed for high visibility across different light conditions.
