Black-on-white shad (Color 04) provides a crisp, high-contrast look to the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) balsa body of this Bagley's Diving Smoo. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this specimen is identified by product code 18694 and represents the classic craftsmanship of the Jim Bagley Bait Co. from Winter Haven, Florida. This lure is unused and remains secured in its original vintage blister packaging. The reverse of the card features a detailed 'tuning' guide for adjusting the line tie eye, a practical instruction common for handcrafted wooden lures of this era. Designed with a prominent diving lip, this model is built to reach deeper water columns while maintaining the characteristic buoyancy of its balsa core. The original hardware is clean, and the overall finish is a testament to the manufacturing standards of mid-century American tackle production.
