Museum Archive: Vintage Matzuo America, 2/5oz Silver / Hologram / Green fishing lure #0090

Weighted at 2/5oz (11g), a multi-layered Silver/Hologram/Green finish creates a highly reflective visual profile on the body of the Matzuo America. This particular specimen, cataloged under product code 0090, measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and displays the distinct red throat detailing and large, dark-pupiled 3D eyes characteristic of the brand. The clear, rounded diving lip is securely integrated into the head, indicating a design intended for reaching specific subsurface depths. Its hardware consists of two sharp, silver-toned treble hooks attached via robust split rings. Rated at 5/5 for condition, the lure is exceptionally preserved, with the 'MATZUO' belly stamp crisp and legible against the cream-colored underside. The holographic foil embedded under the side ribbing interacts with light across the flanks, meeting a dark, mottled green pattern along the dorsal ridge.
