Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend Fatal Attraction, 2/5oz Hot Pink spinning lure #22658

A weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) provides this vintage spinner with substantial presence for casting near submerged structure. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in total length, the South Bend Fatal Attraction carries product code 22658 and represents a functional piece of USA-made tackle history. The blade is finished in what the manufacturer designated as Hot Pink, presenting as a high-visibility fluorescent tone accented by black diagonal striping and the brand’s name stamped clearly on the surface. Constructed on a straight wire frame, the lure features a fish-shaped lead head with a painted eye, followed by three brass-toned beads and a single pink translucent bead for added visual contrast. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the specimen remains in great shape, with only minor indications of its age appearing as slight surface marks that do not detract from the overall vibrant coloration. The design is completed by a large single hook attached via a wire loop, a configuration often favored for its effectiveness in snag-prone waters.
