Museum Archive: Vintage Reef Runner Cicada, 3/16oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #0965

Nickel and orange tones define the finish of this 3/16oz (6g) blade lure. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen from Reef Runner is a classic piece of American tackle history, manufactured under product code 0965. The bright orange decal on the blade face features the crisp, black 'CICADA' lettering, which contrasts sharply against the polished nickel body. The construction utilizes a weighted lead head molded onto a thin metal blade, designed for vertical jigging or casting applications. Two sharp double hooks are securely attached to the belly and tail, showing no signs of wear. This particular lure is in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally clean with its original luster fully intact. The single line-tie hole positioned at the top of the blade is typical of this model, allowing for the specific balance required in its design.
