Museum Archive: Vintage The Producers Finnigan's Minnow Jointed, 1/2oz fishing lure #16896

A striking green and orange finish defines this Finnigan's Minnow Jointed, a classic piece from The Producers lineup. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this floating lure features a two-piece segmented body joined by a robust metal link. The dark green back is detailed with black scale-like vertical markings, while the belly is painted a bright, high-visibility orange. For depth control, a wide plastic diving lip is positioned at the head, designed to reach between 1 ft and 5 ft (0.3-1.5 m). This USA-made specimen, listed under product code 16896, retains its original hardware including two treble hooks and a front line tie with a split ring. With a condition rating of 4/5, the paint remains vibrant, showing only minor character from its years in a tackle box. Yellow eyes with prominent black pupils are set into the green head section, providing a high-contrast focal point.
