Museum Archive: Other ​Monti Swiss Lures, 2/5oz spinning lure #14667

Crafted in Switzerland, the 3 1/2" (9cm) frame of this spinner demonstrates the precision of European tackle engineering. The blade on this specific 2/5oz (11g) specimen, cataloged as product code 14667, features a dual-tone finish with a gold and silver face and a silver back. Constructed using non-corrosive materials, the assembly utilizes a stainless steel wire shank adorned with polished brass beads for proper weight distribution. The blade is engineered to spin at low speeds, a technical specification noted on the original Monti Swiss Lures packaging. This item is unused, maintaining a condition rating of 6, and still carries its original hardware including hollowground fine point hooks. According to the factory carding, this model 3B (S/G3) was intended for targeting salmon, lake trout, and steelhead. The use of brass and German silver for the blade components highlights the specific material choices common to high-quality Swiss-made lures of its era.
