Museum Archive: Vintage Salmo Perch 14 Floating, 2oz FT fishing lure #24303

A substantial weight of 2 oz (58g) makes this deep-diving specimen a powerhouse for reaching the depths where large predators lurk. Painted in a classic Polish perch pattern (Color FT), the lure features vivid yellow-green sides accented by bold dark vertical bars and a distinctive orange-tinged belly. At a length of 5 1/2" (14cm), its profile mimics the common European perch, complete with painted fin details and a prominent red gill slash near the head. The oversized clear plastic diving lip is engineered for serious depth, capable of reaching 39.4 ft (12 m) when trolled at a distance of approximately 98 ft (30 m). Produced by Salmo in Poland, this Salmo Perch 14 Floating (Product Code 24303) has been a staple in European tackle boxes since 1992. It comes equipped with two robust treble hooks secured by heavy-duty split rings. Rated at 5/5, the finish is exceptionally clean, preserving the sharpness of the pattern and the integrity of the clear stamp on the flank.
