Featuring a classic Five of Diamonds pattern of red diamonds over a vibrant yellow finish, this specimen stands out as a quintessential piece of American tackle history. Weighing 3/5 oz (17g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Mann's Dancer utilizes a specialized lead-headed design integrated into its spoon-like metal body. This lure, identified by product code 5258 and manufactured in the USA by Mann's Bait, is designed to produce a distinct trembling vibration that gives the model its name. The paintwork on the front side is sharp, while the back remains a solid, uniform yellow. A painted eye with a red iris and black pupil sits on the raised head section, providing a clear target for game fish. Its condition is 5/5, exhibiting a very well-preserved surface and original hardware. The single hook is securely attached to the rear, while the wire leader harness is looped through the body to maintain stability during the retrieve.
