Museum Archive: Vintage Whopper Stopper Hellbender G Finish, 1/2oz G Finish fishing lure #18131

Weighting in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this deep-diving specialist highlights the heavy-duty construction typical of vintage USA-made tackle. The metallic G Finish on this Whopper Stopper Hellbender, product code 18131, features a striking transition from a reflective silver belly to a creamy, off-white upper body. This specific finish was engineered by Whopper Stopper to flash even in low-light conditions found at greater depths. It is equipped with two belly-mounted treble hooks and a signature rear spinner blade attached via a swivel to provide a constant visual flicker. The large, heart-shaped metal lip is securely riveted to the head, designed to withstand contact with underwater structure during trolling or deep casting. Measuring approximately 3.5 inches (8.9 cm), the lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing very light evidence of its age while maintaining the structural integrity of its original hardware and snap-link connector.
