Museum Archive: Vintage Matzuo FinSpin, 1/4oz spinning lure #15244

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the Matzuo FinSpin features a weighted, minnow-style body that transitions from a deep black top to a bright silver underside. A subtle red accent is applied beneath the painted eye, adding a point of contrast near the front of the lure. The wire-through construction holds a series of brass components, including a conical spacer and a spherical bead, which facilitate the rotation of the silver-plated blade. This specific oval blade is clearly stamped with 'FINSPIN', denoting its American origins and Matzuo lineage. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, the rear is equipped with a sharp, bronze-finished treble hook. This specimen is in exceptional condition, rated 5/5, with the paint and metallic surfaces maintaining their original factory luster.
