Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the solid metal body of this specimen showcases the distinctive craftsmanship of the Seneca Lure company. The front surface is finished in a polished Nickel / Blue combination, where the blue sections feature a textured application in a broad arrow pattern. Flipping the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) lure over reveals the stamped image of a dancer, a hallmark of the "Hula Girl" model that was later omitted when Acme took over production in the early 1980s. This USA-made classic, cataloged under product code 1499, remains in 4/5 condition with light signs of its vintage heritage. The reverse side also bears the original "WIGL LURE" branding, positioned near the split ring and treble hook assembly.
