Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Tom Mann Pogo 911, 1/3oz fishing lure #9126

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the elongated profile of the Mann's Tom Mann Pogo 911 showcases a distinctive hexagonal scale pattern that transitions from a dark charcoal back to a pale cream belly. A vintage American-made lure identified by product code 9126, it carries a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) and features a prominent red throat accent beneath its clear diving lip. Large yellow eyes with fixed black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the gray-toned head. The body is equipped with two sets of clean treble hooks and a single black spot located just behind the gill area. In a collector-grade 5/5 condition, the finish remains bright and the hardware shows no signs of wear. The rattle-type construction reflects the classic design era of Tom Mann's legendary bait company.
