Museum Archive: Vintage Harrison Industries Rockland Super Rocky, 1/16oz fishing lure #23453

A distinctive yellowish-tan hue with dark stippling defines the two-piece body of this Harrison Industries creation. This Rockland Super Rocky, carrying product code 23453, measures a mere 1" (2.5cm) and represents a specialized niche in mid-century American miniature lures. The jointed design is held together by robust metal pins, facilitating flexibility between the head and tail sections. Its face is characterized by a painted red eye with a bright yellow pupil, situated just behind a fixed metal diving lip that is anchored by a single screw. For hardware, a bright red treble hook is mounted to the front section, while a standard silver treble hook hangs from the tail. Weighing only 1/16oz (1.6g), this USA-made specimen is built for ultra-light tackle applications. The condition is rated at 4/5, showing minor surface wear consistent with a well-preserved vintage item.
