Museum Archive: Bass Buster Scorpion, 1/4oz Nickel/white spinning lure #16754

Nickel-finished blades paired with a classic white skirt define this vintage Bass Buster Scorpion, an authentic piece from the Amsterdam, MO, production lines. Carrying a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) and designated with product code 16754, this lure remains attached to its original factory card featuring the 'Fiber Guard' branding. That fiber guard was a key technical innovation for this model, designed to protect the hook point when navigating through heavy aquatic cover. The lure features a clean white lead head with a simple eye detail and a supple, multi-strand vinyl skirt. As an unused specimen rated 6 for condition, the wire-arm frame and silver-tone hardware remain bright and free of signs of deployment. Original manufacturing details on the packaging confirm its heritage as a genuine USA-made product from the Virgil Ward era of tackle design.
