Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Mid 1- Minus, 2/5oz fishing lure #7951

Bold black triangle accents contrast against the vibrant chartreuse finish of this American-made specimen, a hallmark of the classic Mann’s aesthetic. At a weight of 2/5 oz (11 g), this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Mann's Mid 1- Minus (Product Code 7951) is a purpose-built tool for fishing situations where you need to skim just above submerged vegetation. It is engineered to stay high in the water column, reaching depths of only 0–1 ft (0–30 cm). The bright orange belly adds a high-visibility trigger for pike or zander, while the clear, short lip is shaped specifically for shallow casting and trolling. Showing just enough character to prove its vintage status, the lure remains in 4/5 condition, retaining its bright luster and clear factory stamping. Mann's Bait Company produced these to be reliable shallow-water options for anglers navigating heavy cover.
