Museum Archive: Vintage Matzuo Lipless​, 1/2oz fishing lure #9020

Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking vibrator is built for versatility across variable depths. The 3" (7.5 cm) profile is finished in a vivid green tiger pattern that transitions into a warm orange belly, complete with dark vertical bars and a textured scale finish. A standout feature of the Matzuo Lipless, product code 9020, is its luminous glow-in-the-dark properties, providing a distinct advantage for low-light conditions or deep-water trolling for zander and pike. The top-mounted line tie and internal rattle system define its construction, while the two sharp treble hooks are preserved in excellent shape. This specimen reflects a condition rating of 5/5, showcasing clean surfaces and original hardware. Originally produced for the USA market, this rattling lure remains a reliable choice for anglers targeting perch, trout, and even salmon.
