Museum Archive: Vintage The Producers Willy's Worm, 2/5oz fishing lure #16419

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this deep-water crankbait features a highly reflective chrome finish characteristic of vintage American craftsmanship. Tipping the scales at 2/5oz (12g), the construction focuses on stability during deep-water presentations. The substantial metal lip is a signature element of the design, housing dual recessed teardrop sections with holographic prism tape to maximize light reflection. A blueish-green gradient transitions along the spine, providing a base for the distinct black bone-like bands and a single vertical red line near the head. Cataloged under product code 16419, the Willy's Worm by The Producers remains a sought-after piece for those tracking the evolution of USA-made diving lures. The specimen is equipped with two clean treble hooks and maintains a well-preserved appearance, earning a 5/5 condition rating. Large yellow eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the silver flanks and colored back.
