Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's 30+ Depth Plus, 1/2oz fishing lure #7103

A bold red splash on the throat highlights the underside of this deep-diver, contrasting against its dark black-to-silver gradient finish. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Mann's Bait model is built for depth, reaching down to 16.4 ft (5 m). The oversized, clear diving lip is a hallmark of the 30+ Depth Plus series, though this specific specimen, identified by product code 7103, features an interesting "15+" stamp on its silver flank. Designed as a floating lure, it is intended for both steady casting and deep-water trolling techniques. The hardware consists of two treble hooks that remain sturdy and functional. It presents in a 4/5 condition, showing minor evidence of its history while maintaining a very clean appearance.
