Lure fishing Bluewater Tuna Mono vintage new old stock accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage fishing accessory presented here: a lure from the Bluewater Runners brand, "Tuna Mono" model, visible in its sealed original packaging. The item is clearly identified by its blue cardboard tag, on which are inscribed: "Bluewater Runners", "TUNA MONO", code "TM1007", and the mention "Made in Madagascar". The period packaging is typical of fishing gear sold in stores in the 80s-90s, which is reflected in the appearance of the cardboard tag and the transparent plastic pouch, unopened.

The visible lure has an elongated head, bright orange in color with a large black and white circular eye painted on the side. Its rear part is made of black and silver fibers or filaments, imitating a fin or a tail, designed to attract predatory fish. The lure's finish shows metallic reflections, suitable for sea or saltwater fishing, particularly for trolling or targeting large fish such as tuna.

The visible side shows packaging in very good apparent condition, without yellowing or opening, with a handwritten label "€6.10 each" in the upper right, probable remnant of a store's stock or an old fishing tackle aisle. No defects or signs of use are visible on the item or the packaging.

This new old stock (deadstock) lure has never been used, making it a sought-after product for anyone wishing to find period equipment, difficult to find in this condition. The photographed piece corresponds exactly to the received item, with its original presentation and complete signage.

The legible inscriptions on the cardboard tag are faithfully transcribed: - "Bluewater Runners" (stylized fish logo) - "NAME: TUNA MONO" - "CODE: TM1007 QTY: 2" - "Made in Madagascar" - Handwritten price label "€6.10 each".

Condition

Used item, sold as is, new old stock in unopened original packaging. No visible wear or alteration on the exposed part.

Did you know? "Feather" or "octopus" type lures were particularly popular for tuna and pelagic fish fishing in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic starting in the 1980s. The Bluewater brand, uncommon in Europe, manufactured some of its models in Madagascar, taking advantage of local expertise in the manual assembly of skirted lures.
