Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Depth Plus Ol' Homer, Yellow / Green fishing lure #6862

Vibrant yellow and green hues dominate the finish of this 3 1/4" (8 cm) deep-diver, a specimen produced by Mann's Bait Company in the USA. Carrying the product code 6862, this Depth Plus Ol' Homer model is distinguished by a prominent black lateral dot and a green scale pattern across the back. Its construction includes an oversized clear diving lip that enables the floating body to reach depths of 29.5 ft (9 m) when trolled. Intended for targeting pike, zander, and catfish, the lure is rigged with two strong treble hooks suitable for uniform or stop-and-go presentations. This specific item is in 5/5 condition, retaining its bright color palette and hardware integrity. A thin orange stripe runs along the belly near the tail, providing a subtle contrast to the primary chartreuse sides.
