Museum Archive: Vintage Reef Runner Cicada, 2/5oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #12811

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the distinct profile of this metal blade lure is a staple for anglers who value traditional American-made tackle. The Reef Runner Cicada, cataloged under product code 12811, features a thin 2" (5 cm) metal blade married to a heavy lead belly. This specific specimen is finished in a Nickel / Orange colorway, where the orange insert is detailed with a honeycomb texture and black lines that define the insect-wing motif, topped off with the "CICADA" name stamped clearly. The hardware consists of two original double hooks, one secured mid-body and another at the tail, both appearing sharp and free of oxidation. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the lure shows a clean lead head and bright reflective surfaces on the blade. Its design places the weight low and forward, which is a key structural feature for maintaining balance during deep-water vertical jigging or steady retrieves.
