Museum Archive: Vintage Producers, 1/3oz Rainbow fishing lure #8297

Vibrant Rainbow hues define the finish of this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) surface lure, blending golden yellow at the nose into lush greens, blues, and a deep violet top. This Producers brand specimen, identified by product code 8297, is a classic American-made topwater tool designed to generate surface disturbance. A stainless steel propeller is mounted at the rear to churn water, while an internal noise-making chamber provides a rhythmic sound during the retrieve. The body profile is a smooth, elongated shape, carrying two sharp treble hooks secured with screw-eye hardware. A distinct black dot is positioned behind the head, with a small pink strike point visible on the white belly. The painted yellow eyes with dark pupils offer a traditional look on the tapered nose. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the specimen is remarkably clean, showing vibrant paint and bright metal components. Weighing 1/3 oz (9.5 g), it offers the necessary weight for accurate placement when targeting shoreline predators.
