Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Smoo #2 Deep, 1/3oz fishing lure #17348

Vertical black stripes over a brilliant silver chrome finish give this specific specimen a classic baitfish appearance. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this American-made Bagley Smoo #2 Deep (Product Code: 17348) features a distinctive curved body profile paired with a long, clear plastic diving lip. This hardware configuration is intended for deep-water presentations, reaching depths where larger predators typically hold. The underbelly is accented with a soft orange throat patch situated just behind the bill, providing a subtle color contrast. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure is rigged with two original treble hooks. Large, prominent yellow eyes with bold black pupils are set near the head, creating a high-visibility focal point. This particular lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean and reflective chrome surface across the entire body. The line tie is mounted directly onto the diving bill, a technical choice synonymous with Bagley's deep-diving designs from their USA production period.
