Museum Archive: LiveTarget Live Target Menhaden, 2 1/4oz fishing lure #15029

A heavy 2 1/4 oz (62g) weight provides the necessary density for this sinking lure to reach the strike zone effectively in deeper saltwater environments. Measuring 4 3/4" (12cm) in length, the body features an intricately detailed scale pattern that shifts from a golden-bronze hue on the dorsal surface to a bright metallic silver along the belly. Authentic anatomy is a hallmark of the LiveTarget design philosophy, evidenced here by the prominent dark humeral spot and a series of smaller dots trailing along the flank. The head is finished with life-like 3D eyes and molded gill plates that enhance the three-dimensional profile. Saltwater-grade treble hooks are securely mounted to the belly and tail, showing the bright, original finish of a completely unused specimen. The condition rating is 6. Identified by product code 15029, the construction is centered on durability and visual deception. The line tie is located at the very tip of the snout, and the lure features molded-in pectoral and dorsal fins.
