Vintage Mold Craft Soft Head Little Hooker lure pink fishing accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This vintage fishing lure is presented in its original, unopened packaging from the Mold Craft brand, model "Soft Head Little Hooker". It is a fishing accessory designed for trolling, typical of late 20th-century American production. The visible lure is bright pink, with a tapered, soft head, extended by flexible strands that mimic the swimming action of a baitfish. Its conical shape and tentacles make it a sought-after model for sport fishing at sea.

The original packaging features "SOFT HEAD" at the top in red letters, as well as the model name "LITTLE HOOKER" in blue vertically on each side of the lure. The Mold Craft brand is clearly indicated at the bottom, accompanied by the mention "Another State of the Art Product by Frank Johnson’s Mold Craft Fishing Products". The manufacturer's address in Pompano Beach, Florida (USA) is also printed, attesting to its American origin.

The lure is attached to a cardboard backing, still sealed by a transparent plastic strip. The translucent pink color of the lure is particularly visible, with shiny reflections on the head and strands. No hook is visible on the presented side, the lure appearing to be a deadstock model (old, unused store stock).

The whole shows signs of aging on the cardboard (slight marks, handling traces, partially erased price tag), typical of an old accessory long in stock, but the main object remains intact and unmounted. The inscriptions are clearly legible, allowing easy authentication of the origin and model.

The vintage typography of the packaging, the Mold Craft logo, and the graphic style clearly place this product in an estimated period from the 1980s to the 1990s, common for this type of sport fishing accessory.

Condition Used item, sold as is. The lure is new, never mounted (deadstock), but the original packaging shows signs of wear due to age and storage (see photos).
