Museum Archive: Other ​Monti Swiss Lures, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #14579

Hand-painted black stripes and red dots decorate the gold-finished blade of this vintage Swiss-made spinner. Sized at 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and weighing 3/32 oz (3 g), the Monti Swiss Lure model 2P (Product Code 14579) features a teardrop-shaped blade intended for effective spin and bait casting. These lures were constructed by Swiss craftsmen using non-corrosive materials, including a stainless steel wire shank and polished brass beads for weighting. The original green card identifies this specific pattern for targeting trout, black bass, and perch. Imported by Prandis, Inc. of Tenafly, New Jersey, the lure remains unused in its original packaging. According to the manufacturer's card, the design is intended for life-like action and utilizes hollowground fine point hooks for reliability.
