Vintage Soft Plastic Eel/Needlefish Fishing Lure – Red Eyes, Weed Guard

This is a vintage soft plastic fishing lure resembling an eel or needlefish, with molded scale detail and realistic fins. It features red inset eyes, a belly treble hook, and a weed guard near the head, along with a hand-wrapped thread connection.

Lures of this style were popular for saltwater and big freshwater species such as pike, muskie, and striped bass. The soft body and elongated profile mimic baitfish movement, making them effective for trolling or casting.
