Stamping on the gold-plated metal body reveals the iconic South Bend Super-Duper 509 name, a hallmark of mid-century fishing design. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this piece features a characteristic U-shaped bend that exposes its vibrant red interior. This specimen, listed under product code 0599, shows slight honest wear from handling, which earns it a solid 4/5 condition rating. The hardware consists of a single treble hook attached via a split ring at the fold, while the nose is pre-drilled for a direct line tie. Its metallic finish remains bright, with the manufacturer's name and 'Pat. Pend.' marks still crisp and legible across the upper surface.
