Museum Archive: Vintage Producers, 1/3oz Transparent fishing lure #7917

A single silver-toned propeller sits at the rear of this classic topwater walker, designed to stir the surface during a steady retrieve. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (9.5 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen features a fully transparent plastic body that reveals the internal rattle beads responsible for its noisy profile. Identified by product code 7917, the lure is a distinct creation from the American company, The Producers. Its visual appeal is highlighted by large, high-contrast painted eyes, providing a clear target for surface-striking predators like bass and pike. The hardware is comprised of two treble hooks—one belly-mounted and one trailing the prop—connected to a rounded, cigar-shaped frame. This well-maintained example shows no signs of use, earning a condition rating of 5/5.
