Museum Archive: Vintage Bagley Smoo #2, 1/4oz fishing lure #14923

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this Bagley Smoo #2 showcases a brilliant gold metallic finish accented by bold black striping along its arched back. This American-made specimen, identified by product code 14923, represents a clean example of the craftsmanship anglers expect from the Bagley brand. The 1/4oz (7g) body is paired with a clear, wide diving lip that bears the stamped Bagley name, designed to pull the lure down during a steady retrieve. Large, expressive yellow eyes with deep black pupils give the head a classic look, while the hardware remains in excellent shape. Both the belly and tail treble hooks are sharp and securely attached via sturdy split rings. Collectors will appreciate the 5/5 condition, as the gold surface retains its original reflective luster across the entire curved profile.
