Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's 15+, 1/2oz silver fishing lure #19375

Silver chrome finishes like the one on this 1/2 oz (14 g) deep-diver were a staple for Mann's Bait Company when targeting predators in deeper water columns. Rated for diving depths up to 16.4 ft (5 m), this Mann's 15+ model features the iconic oversized clear diving lip that defines the "Plus" series. The 2" (5 cm) silver body is accented with a black scale pattern along the spine and a distinct red spot located on the belly near the front treble hook. A pair of bright yellow eyes provides a sharp contrast against the reflective metallic finish. Identified by product code 19375, this floating crankbait is designed for both casting and trolling applications. The hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks, reflecting the classic construction of vintage USA-made tackle. When working this lure, anglers typically utilize a steady retrieve or a stop and go technique. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with its surfaces maintaining a remarkably bright and clean appearance.
