Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Depth Plus Ol' Homer 20+, 3/4oz fishing lure #10479

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the Mann's Depth Plus Ol' Homer 20+ (product code 10479) is a purpose-built trolling specialist from the USA. The classic gold finish with a green scaled back is a legendary color scheme among anglers targeting pike, zander, and catfish in deep water. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), the lure is equipped with an oversized clear diving lip that allows it to reach depths of up to 30ft (9m). A particularly interesting feature is the lure's response to UV light, where the body emits a strong green glow, providing a significant visual advantage in the dim light of the depths. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing only very minor surface scuffs while retaining its original hardware. It is designed as a floating diver, optimally fished with a steady or stop-and-go retrieve to engage its deep-tracking capabilities.
