Museum Archive: Vintage Reef Runner Little Ripper 500-67 Treble Hook Eagle Claw, 1/4oz Gold Clown fishing lure #11886

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the Gold Clown finish on this specimen glows with a bright metallic sheen across its 3 1/2" (9 cm) body. Cataloged under product code 11886, the Reef Runner Little Ripper 500-67 is a specialized shallow-diving model that operates effectively in the 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) depth range. This particular lure is in unused condition (5/5), presenting the original factory luster with no signs of wear. The slim, curved profile is equipped with authentic Eagle Claw treble hooks and features an internal rattle system for auditory attraction. Designed for a variety of species including zander, perch, pike, and trout, the lure's floating buoyancy allows for precise control when working around submerged cover. The clear diving lip is seamlessly integrated into the chrome-red head section, which is detailed with a dark gill accent and eye engraving. This Ohio-designed tool is a staple for both shore-based casting and steady trolling over shallow flats.
