Hand-painted with a classic trout pattern, this Estonian-made lure features the distinct segmented body of a legendary series. Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the J-11 model measures 4 1/4" (11 cm) and tips the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g). The finish displays intricate scaling with red accents near the gill and dark spotting across the flank, mimicking a small prey fish. Underneath the front section, the clear plastic lip is tuned for depths between 4–8 ft (1.2–2.4 m). This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 20505, is in 5/5 condition with clean metal hardware and a vibrant, well-preserved exterior. The "Estonia" stamp on the belly highlights its manufacturing heritage within the brand's production history. Whether used for casting or trolling, the dual-section design relies on high-quality construction to maintain its presence in the water.
