Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley BAGLEY Bang-O Lure, 1/3oz Brown Tiger fishing lure #8126

Measuring 5" (13cm) in length, the slender wooden profile of this minnow is finished in a vibrant Brown Tiger pattern, characterized by a bold yellow body and dark vertical bars that transition into a deep brown back. This Bagley Bang-O Lure, identified by product code 8126, represents the brand's traditional USA-based craftsmanship. At a weight of 1/3oz (10g), the build features three belly-mounted treble hooks secured with classic hardware for stability during casting. The specimen is graded at a 3/5 condition rating, showing some surface cracks that naturally occur on vintage wooden lures over time. A clear, rounded diving lip is fixed at the head, designed specifically for floating presentations near the surface.
