Measuring a full 6" (15 cm) in total length, this tandem assembly showcases a classic American design from the Marathon workshops. The nickel and red color scheme of the blades, identified by product code 23202, is built on a sturdy wire frame featuring a weight of 1/4 oz (8 g). This specific specimen is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its bright metal finish and well-preserved components. Two distinct blades are positioned along the shaft, separated by red beads that provide a subtle visual contrast against the polished nickel surfaces. The leading blade is smaller, while the primary trailing blade is stamped with the manufacturer's mark, a signature detail for collectors of vintage USA-made tackle. A long-shanked single hook is attached to the rear, a configuration traditionally favored by anglers for rigging natural baits or soft trailers while casting or trolling through weed edges.
