Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Dancer, 1/2oz fire tiger fishing spoon #18754

Fire tiger patterns rarely look as vibrant as they do on this particular piece of American fishing history. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Mann's Dancer is built around a unique blade design characteristic of Mann's Bait Company production in the USA. The finish consists of dark green and black tiger stripes layered over a bright chartreuse body, complemented by prominent orange eyes. This model, identified as product code 18754, earned its name from the specific trembling motion it generates, which sends distinct vibrations through the water. A lime green feathered trailer is attached to the rear treble hook, adding extra visual appeal to the tail section. The hardware remains sturdy and the paint retains much of its original luster. Looking closely at the surface, there is only minimal evidence of its journey through time, warranting a condition rating of 4/5.
