OooooooooK, it is 4 1/8" long, weighs .67 oz (even though it claims 7/8oz), 3/4" diameter (actually they are oblong),belly hook is 1 5/8" back (hooks are size 2's! I think). The taper to the tail (which is concave) starts about 2 3/8" from the nose. The tail dia is 1/2". The lip is 3/4 wide, 3/8 perpendicular, 3/8 front radius. It projects in front of the head 1/8th an inch. Wire hole is 3/16" down. The wire is some smaller gauge than usual. I've got a cellar full of these things, never found much use for them, I'll send you one free.....so I can laugh at you when you try to cast it.
