Museum Archive: Alaska lure Alaska Lure Drifter Lure, 1/4oz orange spinning lure #18170

Resting inside its original Willow, Alaska packaging, the 1/4oz (7g) Alaska Lure Drifter Lure showcases a vibrant orange body finished with a distinctive honeycomb texture. This specimen, identified by product code 18170, features two hammered silver blades designed to provide significant surface area for reflection. The rig is constructed with a dark wire leader and accented by a red yarn attractor near the hooks. Produced in the USA, the lure remains in unused condition, appearing as it did when it left the Willow factory. The vintage header card still bears the company address at P.O. Box 66 and a conservation message on the reverse regarding the beauty of Alaskan rivers. The hardware includes sharp, clean hooks integrated into the drift-specific configuration, specialized for regional river techniques.
