Museum Archive: Vintage Mister Twister Sportfisher , 3/16oz Silver fishing lure #15908

Finished in a detailed silver scale pattern with a contrasting black back, the Mister Twister Sportfisher is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship. This 3/16 oz (5.5 g) specimen, identified by product code 15908, is designed to dive to depths of 6 ft (1.8 m). The clear, oversized diving lip bears the embossed manufacturer's branding, confirming its lineage as a vintage USA-made piece. A distinct red flash at the throat provides a sharp visual contrast against the metallic foil sides and the prominent yellow eyes with black pupils. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the body profile tapers toward the rear treble, with a second hook secured to the belly. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure displays gentle signs of age that highlight its vintage status while the silver finish remains bright and the hardware is secure.
