Museum Archive: Vintage Reef Runner Cicada, 1/8oz fishing spoon #8186

A distinct yellow wing insert featuring the "CICADA" stamp sits atop the dark body of this blade bait, identifying it as a Reef Runner specimen. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4.2 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, this specific lure (Product Code 8186) features a black finish that has softened through years of use. The hardware consists of two upward-facing double hooks, a hallmark of blade lures designed to minimize snags during casting or vertical jigging. Manufactured in the USA, the metal body displays signs of its fishing history, earning it a condition rating of 4/5 for its functional and structural integrity. Multiple line-tie holes along the top ridge allow for depth adjustments during a retrieve. The contrast between the dark lead-head body and the bright yellow graphic insert makes this a character-filled example of American metal bait design.
