Museum Archive: Vintage Rogers Vib-R-Fin ​, 1/2oz fishing lure #13940

Grey and silver scales printed over a translucent body give this lipless rattle bait a distinct vintage aesthetic. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) and tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), the Rogers Vib-R-Fin is a versatile sinking lure designed for variable depth applications. This specific model, carrying product code 13940, features a prominent blue eye and a vertical red gill dash, typical of the Rogers design language. Crafted in the USA, the build relies on a top-mounted line tie to maintain its intended posture during casting or trolling for species such as zander, pike, or trout. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the finish and hardware remaining exceptionally well-preserved. Its lipless profile and internal rattle system make it a functional choice for anglers targeting depth-dwelling predators.
