Museum Archive: Vintage Producers Turbo, 1/3oz Rainbow Green fishing lure #10597

Rainbow Green finishes on vintage American lures often display a striking transition from deep forest tones to a shimmering gold, and this Producers Turbo is a prime example. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g), this surface walker features a distinctive black bone-style pattern layered over its iridescent flanks. The construction is centered around a buoyant, torpedo-shaped body fitted with a rear-mounted silver propeller. This prop is secured by a sturdy screw-eye that also anchors the trailing treble hook, while a second treble is positioned mid-belly to ensure solid hookups for pike and perch. Carrying the product code 10597, the lure remains in great shape with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only minor signs of its fishing history. The large, painted yellow eyes provide a high-contrast focal point against the dark green head. As a floating topwater bait, the hardware is designed for surface presentation where the rear blade creates localized disturbance during a steady retrieve.
