Vintage Bagley Balsa Small Fry Perch, 1/2oz Perch fishing lure #24010

Carrying the distinct weight of 1/2oz (14g), this balsa wood lure represents the meticulous design work produced in the USA during Bagley’s heyday. Finished in a lifelike Perch pattern, the 3" (7.5cm) body is part of the sought-after Small Fry series, recognized by its realistic baitfish profiles and fine scale detailing. This specific rarity, cataloged under product code 24010, shows honest signs of use, including a visible crack on the diving blade. While it is rated at a condition of 2/5, the paint work and side fin details remain well-preserved. Built for trolling applications, it is designed to reach depths down to 6.5ft (2.0 m). The hardware configuration includes two treble hooks secured by classic metal hangers. As a floating model, the balsa core provides the specific buoyancy that has made the Small Fry a favorite for anglers targeting depth-specific structures.
