Museum Archive: Vintage Abu Garcia Abu Reflex, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #17867

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic spinner represents the era when manufacturing was centered in Sweden, as evidenced by the clear stamp on its gold blade. This Abu Reflex, identified by product code 17867, features the iconic ribbed blade design designed for steady casting and retrieval. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure is built around a vibrant yellow body with black spots, which shows some light paint wear consistent with its age. A small red bead sits at the head of the wire frame, providing a sharp contrast against the gold finish of the metal. Rated 4/5, the specimen remains in very good collector quality, with the original yellow feathers on the treble hook still bushy and intact. The blade is legibly stamped with 'ABU SPINNARE REFLEX', serving as a testament to its pre-merger heritage.
