Museum Archive: Matzuo Phantom Minnow, 1/8oz Rainbow Silver fishing lure #9255

Rainbow Silver scaling wraps this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Matzuo Phantom Minnow, providing a classic baitfish appearance popular for light-tackle applications. Weighing exactly 1/8 oz (4 g), this shallow-running suspender is cataloged under product code 9255 and remains in unused condition. It is engineered to reach a diving depth of 0–2 ft (0–0.6 m), specifically tailored for casting near surface vegetation or shallow flats. The holographic scales transition into a darker spine, accented by detailed 3D eyes that offer a focal point for predators. Each lure is equipped with two black nickel treble hooks that have retained their factory sharpness. This American-designed minnow specimen presents the clean lines and reflective properties characteristic of the Matzuo brand.
