Gold-tone plating and a vibrant red tip define the visual character of the South Bend Super-Duper 501, which is identified by Product Code 9537. Weighing 3/32oz (2.3g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3cm), this USA-made lure features a distinctive U-shaped folded metal construction. A textured, holographic gold foil strip is applied to one side to enhance light reflection. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface where the 'SUPER-DUPER' brand name is clearly stamped into the metal. For hardware, it is equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring and includes a wire snap swivel for easy line connection at the head. The overall design represents a unique blend of spoon and spinner elements, characteristic of South Bend's mid-century manufacturing approach.
