Museum Archive: Vintage LiveTarget Live Target Golden Shiner Rattlbait, 1/2oz Carp fishing lure #9109

Scaled textures and a dark back with a gold-toned crown define the 3" (7.5 cm) profile of this realistic baitfish imitation. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the LiveTarget Golden Shiner Rattlbait (Product Code 9109) in Carp color is designed for versatile presentations in variable depths, whether you are casting for pike and asp or trolling for zander. The hardware consists of two sturdy black nickel treble hooks attached via split rings, while the line-tie sits atop the head to facilitate a sinking, nose-down posture. This specimen shows light character with minor paint loss and surface scuffs along the sides and belly, reflecting its 4/5 condition rating. The anatomical detailing includes a large, lifelike eye and a subtle red highlight at the throat to mimic distressed forage. This rattle-equipped lure provides a dense, compact option for anglers targeting salmon, trout, or perch throughout the water column.
