Gold plating accented by a sharp red tip distinguishes the Super-Duper 503, a classic specimen from South Bend’s mid-century lineup. Weighing 1/8 oz (4.3g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm), this lure carries the product code 5941 and represents a unique chapter in American tackle design. The folded metal body serves as a hybrid between a spoon and a spinner, providing a distinct silhouette when pulled through the water. Stamped on the top surface is the model name, while the underside features patent number 2,719,378. Its condition is rated 5/5, with the original color scheme remaining vibrant and the hardware appearing sturdy. The simple treble hook is attached via a robust split ring at the curve of the body, intended for casting or light trolling.
