A metallic silver and white finish coats the 2 1/4" (6cm) frame of this Whopper Stopper Hellbender, a storied piece of American tackle history from the USA. Weighted at 2/5oz (12g), the lure is built around a prominent heart-shaped metal diving lip designed to reach depths of 6.6 ft (2 meters). This specimen, listed under product code 12461, remains in 4/5 condition with its original yellow-and-black eyes and scaled silver body paint well-preserved. The hardware configuration consists of two treble hooks and a small teardrop spinner blade at the tail, providing subtle flash whether you are casting or trolling. The metal diving plane includes a pre-installed line tie, ensuring the body tracks as intended while working through the water column. The silver-white coloration transitions smoothly, creating a lifelike profile that collectors often look for in mid-century Whopper Stopper designs.
