Stamped into the polished metal surface, the 509 designation identifies this South Bend Super-Duper as a classic example of mid-century tackle design. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this specimen (Product Code 0819) features the signature U-shaped bent metal body. The nickel finish provides a bright reflective surface, accented by a red painted tip near the line-tie. This particular lure shows light evidence of its history through small chips in the red paint, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. It is outfitted with a single treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, intended for casting or trolling in freshwater environments. The manufacturer's name, South Bend, is clearly legible on the side, marking its USA-made heritage.
