A brilliant gold finish coats the spoon body of this USA-made Red Ripper, providing high visibility for varied water conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 3/5oz (17g), this Nemire Lures classic features a distinct rattle chamber mounted directly to the underside to add an auditory dimension. The hardware is comprised of a single upward-facing hook protected by a wire weed guard, currently rigged with a semi-transparent skirt accented by silver glitter flakes. 'Red Ripper' and 'Patent Pending' markings are stamped into the gold plating near the rattle housing. Collectors should note this specific specimen is cataloged under product code 13558. The lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing a highly reflective surface and an intact, supple skirt assembly. John Nemire designed these spoons specifically for heavy cover applications, utilizing the rattle to help fish track the lure through dense vegetation.
