Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Shad-A-LAC, 1/2oz fishing lure #17509

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking rattlin' features a distinct copper-toned body accented by heavy black glitter. This Bagley Shad-A-LAC, identified by product code 17509, showcases the classic 3" (7.5 cm) baitfish profile often associated with the American brand's heritage designs. The paint job transitions from a dark brown spine into metallic bronze flanks, with square-cut black glitter providing a subtle texture. A deeply molded gill plate surrounds a recessed silver-foil eye with a black pupil, adding a focal point to the head section. Rated 5/5, the finish and hardware remain in exceptionally clean condition. It operates at a variable depth depending on retrieval speed, making it a versatile tool for targeting species like pike, walleye, or trout. The belly and tail carry silver-finished treble hooks mounted on stainless split rings.
