Museum Archive: Vintage Reef Runner Cicada, 3/16oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #11430

Bright nickel plating defines the body of this USA-made blade lure, providing a high-flash surface intended for visibility at various depths. Labeled as product code 11430, the Reef Runner Cicada measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and carries a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g). The standout feature is the translucent green wing insert, which reveals a luminescent glow under low-light conditions—a practical design choice for night fishing or stained water. The name "CICADA" is neatly stamped across this green section, flanked by black anatomical lines that mimic the insect's wing structure. Fixed with two sharp double hooks, the hardware is designed for a snag-resistant profile when worked near the bottom or through cover. This specimen holds a 5/5 condition rating, appearing exceptionally well-preserved with a clean metallic finish. Multiple attachment points along the dorsal ridge allow for different line-tie positions, a signature characteristic of the Reef Runner brand's versatile metal construction.
