Museum Archive: Vintage Other ​Monti Swiss Lures, 2/5oz Silver / Gold spinning lure #14845

Polished brass beads and a stainless steel wire shank form the backbone of this precision-engineered Swiss spinner. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this specimen features a distinctive blade split between gold and silver finishes on the face with a silver back. This model, identified by product code 14845 and designated as 3B (S/G3) on the packaging, was produced by Monti Swiss Lures and distributed by Prandis, Inc. of New Jersey. The blade is constructed from German silver and brass, designed by craftsmen to achieve a spin at very low speeds. A single hollowground fine point hook is attached to the weighted body, which utilizes polished brass beads for the proper weight needed when targeting salmon, steelhead, and lake trout. This specific specimen is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage retail packaging.
