Museum Archive: Matzuo Phantom Minnow, 1/3oz Rainbow Green fishing lure #9352

Rainbow Green scales shimmer across the sides of this Matzuo Phantom Minnow, a specimen that remains in unused condition. Designated by product code 9352, this 1/3 oz (9 g) bait measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) and is constructed as a suspender for neutral buoyancy. It is intended for casting techniques, specifically reaching a diving range between 1 ft (0.3 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m). The hardware configuration includes a high-visibility red treble hook on the belly and a dark nickel treble at the tail, while the head features realistic eyes and a clear diving lip. Internal rattles are housed within the body to provide a distinct noise profile. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's finish transitions from a dark green spine to a vibrant gold-tinted flank.
