Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Metts Rocket 2, 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #10142

Stamped clearly on the brass blade is the 'Metts 2 Rocket' name, identifying it as a classic piece of American angling history from Atlantic Lures. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.7 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, this inline spinner features a distinct segmented brass body. The blade shows off a detailed stamp that includes its origin and the Atlantic Lures Inc. brand name. For the hardware, a sharp treble hook is dressed with a bright red sleeve over the shank, adding a classic visual contrast to the solid brass construction. Under product code 10142, the lure presents in 4/5 condition, with the metallic surfaces and wire frame remaining very tidy. The three-part weighted body consists of a tapered leading segment followed by two grooved cylindrical weights that provide the mass necessary for casting.
