Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Craft Splash Tail , 1/2oz Ghost Minnow fishing lure #14920

Ghost Minnow finishing on this 3 1/2" (9 cm) frame provides a translucent profile that catches the light through its subtle silver and pink undertones. Designed in Japan, the Splash Tail is a 1/2 oz (13 g) propbait that relies on its dual gold-toned propellers to disturb the surface during a steady retrieve or sharp twitches. The slender body houses two sharp treble hooks, positioned to capitalize on topwater strikes from bass or pike. This particular specimen, identified by product code 14920, remains in 5/5 condition, showing the meticulous attention to detail Lucky Craft is known for, right down to the textured scales visible through the clear sides. Its internal weighting is balanced for casting distance, while the propellers are tuned to spin freely at the slightest movement. The hardware is clean, with the gold finish on the blades providing a sharp contrast to the muted body tones.
