Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this specimen showcases the TSD color pattern with its translucent body, realistic scale textures, and a sharp red gill mark. Rated at 5/5 for its condition, the lure remains in remarkable shape, highlighting the quality of the earlier manufacturing era in Ireland. Identified by product code 23742, this Husky Jerk 7 is a dedicated suspender, allowing it to maintain a neutral position in the water column during pauses in the retrieve. It is designed to reach a diving depth of 4ft (1.2 m) to 6ft (1.8 m) and weighs in at 1/4oz (7g). Anglers utilize this model for casting or trolling, often employing a stop-and-go technique to mimic a baitfish holding its ground. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks and a sturdy clear diving lip meant for consistent performance.
