Measuring a solid 3 1/4" (8 cm), the body of this specimen is finished in a vibrant Yellow and Red pattern that remains striking decades after production. This Millsite Wig Wag Floater, weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), showcases the transition into early plastics through its Tenite construction, a hallmark of Millsite Tackle's mid-century innovation. A clear belly stamp identifies the model, reading "MILLSITE WIG WAG FLOATER," positioned just above the belly treble hook. The silver rib-like markings along the flanks provide a sharp contrast to the yellow base, drawing the eye toward the distinctive red head and painted "target" eyes. Equipped with a polished metal diving lip and two original-style treble hooks, the hardware on product code 2987 exhibits a light aged character consistent with a 4/5 condition rating. Designed as a floater, the buoyant Tenite hull is engineered for casting and surface-to-shallow retrieves, representing a classic piece of USA-made craftsmanship.
