Faceted red beads are inset within the gold-finished spoon body, providing a visual focal point on this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) specimen. Identified by product code 8837, this Weedless Herter’s represents a period when the iconic American brand collaborated with Japanese manufacturers to produce functional tackle. The hardware consists of a single hook protected by a wire weed guard, intended for fishing near heavy cover. A tuft of bright red feathers is secured to the tail, adding a soft texture against the rigid metal. Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), the lure maintains a clean and bright appearance, reflected in its 5/5 condition rating. The gold plating is remarkably well-preserved across the entire surface of the teardrop-shaped body.
