Vintage Storm Lightning Shad , 1/3oz Rainbow Golden fishing lure #11873

Rainbow Golden scales shimmer across the flanks of this vintage find, showcasing the classic aesthetics of a pre-Rapala Storm Lightning Shad. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen carries the product code 11873 and remains in 5/5 condition, with a finish that has been exceptionally well-preserved over the years. The 1/3 oz (9 g) body is balanced for casting and trolling, featuring a floating design that aids in clearing underwater obstructions. Its elongated, clear diving bill is stamped with the model name and enables a depth range of 6.6 ft (2 m) to 11.8 ft (3.6 m). Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with two clean treble hooks and distinctive large red-rimmed eyes that contrast sharply with the gold and green hues. Internal rattles provide a consistent acoustic signature, a technical hallmark of this specific noisy lure model.
