Museum Archive: Vintage Matzuo Asai Shad, 1/4oz Rainbow Pearl fishing lure #9070

Finished in a shimmering Rainbow Pearl, the textured body of this 2" (5cm) Matzuo Asai Shad offers a realistic scale pattern that collectors often look for in this series. This particular specimen, identified by Product Code 9070, tips the scales at 1/4oz (7g) and presents in impeccable 5/5 condition. Designed in the USA for casting, it is a floating, rattling model engineered to dive between 0 and 4ft (1.2m). Visual details include a clear diving lip and a striking red border around the eyes that contrasts sharply against the pearlescent head. The hardware consists of two sharp, dark-toned treble hooks characteristic of Matzuo's focus on terminal tackle quality.
