Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's 10+ , 1/3oz fishing lure #17059

A deep-diving clear lip defines the profile of this 1/3 oz (10 g) crankbait, engineered for reaching depths up to 10 ft (3 m). Produced by Mann's Bait Company in the USA, this 2" (5 cm) specimen carries the product code 17059 and features a detailed crawfish-inspired finish. The dark, scale-patterned back transitions into a bold orange belly that reveals a strong luminescence under UV light, paired with a bright yellow eye for high visibility. Designed for both casting and trolling, its floating buoyancy is tailored for steady retrieve or stop-and-go techniques. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, though the treble hooks and hardware show the slight signs of age common in vintage tackle. Rating: 4/5. The original paint and scale detailing remain sharp across the body.
