Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Dancer, 1/4oz red fishing spoon #18701

Red paint with bold black vertical stripes defines the visual character of this Mann's Dancer, which carries the product code 18701. At a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the spoon-style body features a wire leader system that threads through the center for a secure line attachment. A white feathered treble hook is expertly wrapped with red thread at the rear, providing a soft contrast to the bright finish. The head of the lure is finished in black with large, painted white-and-black eyes that suggest a lifelike target. This USA-made specimen is in a well-preserved 4/5 condition, maintaining the crispness of its original paint and hardware. Anglers familiar with Mann's Bait history will recognize this model by the distinct trembling vibration it produces during a steady retrieve.
