Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Small Fry Bream BR9, 2/5oz BR9 Bream on Chartreuse fishing lure #20511

Detailed scale patterns and molded fins define the BR9 Bream on Chartreuse finish of this Bagley Small Fry Bream BR9, product code 20511. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 2/5oz (12g), this rare USA-made lure showcases the high-level craftsmanship from Bagley's Florida production era. The body features a lifelike panfish profile, finished with a vibrant chartreuse base, dark vertical bars, and a subtle orange-red belly accent. Its construction incorporates a long, clear diving lip with a wire-through line tie, designed to take the lure down into deep-holding strike zones. This specific specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its original finish remaining vibrant and clear. The hardware consists of two belly and tail-mounted treble hooks, secured by clean split rings. A black bead is positioned on the line tie eyelet, a characteristic feature for this specific deep-running model.
