Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Tom Mann's Razorback Shad Square Bill , 1/3oz Craw fishing lure #14858

Dark-veined textures layered over a warm orange underbelly define the "Craw" color scheme on this vintage find. Weighing 1/3oz (10g), the Razorback Shad is built with a high-arched, textured body that mimics the profile of natural forage. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 14858, is a noise-producing model featuring an internal rattle to assist when casting or trolling. The clear square bill is set at a steep angle to achieve a diving depth between 1.6 ft (0.5 m) and 3.9 ft (1.2 m). Its 2 1/4" (6 cm) body remains in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and well-preserved hardware. Mann's Bait Company produced these in the USA, and the quality of craftsmanship is evident in the detailed shell-like ridges and the prominent yellow-and-black eyes. The bronze-finished treble hooks are securely attached via original split rings, showing the care taken in its storage.
