Chartreuse coloring flows across the upper half of this Irish-made balsa body, meeting a silver scale finish on the flanks. At 2 3/4" (7 cm) and a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g), the J7 is a versatile choice for anglers chasing salmon, perch, or trout. This specific lure, bearing product code 11373, is in 5/5 condition, showing a remarkably clean surface and vibrant paint. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m) when casting or trolling. Bright yellow eyes with black pupils sit just above a distinct orange throat patch, a classic visual trigger on these articulated models. The bronzed treble hooks remain sharp and are mounted to the internal wire frame that runs through the two-piece body construction.
