Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Bass'N Shad, 1/4oz fishing lure #18612

Horizontal silver scale patterns give this 1/4 oz (7 g) crankbait a realistic shad appearance that collectors immediately recognize. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the Bagley Bass'N Shad is a staple of American tackle history, cataloged under product code 18612. This specimen features a long, clear plastic lip designed for reaching deeper water columns during a retrieve. The aesthetic is defined by a charcoal black back, a distinct black shoulder spot, and subtle red accents near the gill plates that contrast against the metallic silver body. It comes equipped with two original silver-tone treble hooks attached by sturdy split rings. The overall condition is a 5/5, showing the clean finish and clear hardware typical of a well-preserved USA-made vintage lure.
