Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Smoo #2, 1/4oz fishing lure #11388

A weight of 1/4oz (7g) makes this floating Bagley Smoo #2 a classic example of American-made vintage tackle. The body, measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, displays a dark back with a detailed gold scale pattern that transitions into a reflective chrome belly. Just behind the clear diving lip, which bears the embossed 'bagley's' name, sits a bright orange throat accent. Identified by product code 11388, the lure features characteristic oversized yellow eyes with black pupils that define the Smoo series. A crisp 'bagley's SMOO #2' stamp is located on the belly, identifying the model for collectors. This specimen is rated in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved silver treble hooks and a clean, high-gloss finish.
