Stamped clearly with the vintage South Bend name and size 16 marking, this metal specimen showcases the iconic U-shaped fold that eventually became a staple in the Luhr Jensen catalog under product code 8096. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) in length, the lure features a polished brass finish on the outer curve contrasted by a vibrant red accent applied to the inner channel. The 2/3 oz (18 g) weight provides significant mass for long-distance casting or reaching deeper zones when trolling. This specific Super-Duper 516 is in 4/5 condition, retaining its original luster with only minor signs of age. The hardware remains robust, featuring a large treble hook attached via a sturdy metal ring at the base of the bend. While the design transitioned through different manufacturers over the decades, the distinct profile of this American-made metal piece remains a favorite among collectors for its unique construction and simple, effective color scheme.
