Museum Archive: Vintage Helin Tackle Worden's Lures Flatfish, 3/64oz Perch fishing lure #1308

Featuring a distinctive 'F4' stamp embossed on its back, this specimen showcases the classic bowed profile synonymous with Helin Tackle craftsmanship. The perch finish is exceptionally vivid, with a burnt orange top section covered in a black crosshatch scale pattern that transitions into a bright lime-yellow belly. At a weight of 3/64 oz (1.4 g) and a length of 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Worden's Lures Flatfish, identified by product code 1308, is engineered for ultra-light finesse. The hardware consists of a single belly-mounted treble hook secured by a metal eyelet, a configuration intended for casting or trolling at very low speeds. Condition is rated at 5/5, with the paint and finish maintaining their original luster. This specific F4 model is a staple for trout anglers who prefer a slow-motion technique on light lines.
