Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's 15+, 1/2oz Yellow fishing lure #14926

Dressed in a vibrant chartreuse-yellow finish, this deep-diver stands out even before you factor in its specialized light-reactive properties. The 2" (5.0 cm) body is equipped with a large clear diving bill, engineered to reach depths of 16.4 ft (5.0 m) whether you're casting across points or trolling a deep ledge. Carrying the Product Code 14926, this 1/2 oz (14 g) Mann's 15+ features a classic black side-spot and a red strike-point eye to trigger takes. A faint orange-red wash on the throat provides a realistic touch of color against the otherwise bold yellow hull. Upon closer inspection, the "Mann's" name is clearly embossed into the lure's flank, signifying its American manufacturing roots. When the sun goes down or you're fishing stained water, the paint transitions into a luminous green glow, as evidenced by the high-contrast visibility in dark conditions. The hardware remains in excellent shape, with two sharp, dark-finished treble hooks ready for use. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved with a smooth, glossy surface and crisp factory markings.
