Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Buster spinnerbait, 3/16oz nickel spinning lure #21819

Stamped directly into the nickel-finished blade, the 'BASS BUSTER' logo marks this vintage spinnerbait as a genuine piece of American fishing history. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the lure is built around a bright yellow jig head with a clean black-and-white eye detail. The body is comprised of a translucent orange-brown soft plastic grub with subtle red flakes, terminating in a classic split tail. This USA-made specimen, identified by product code 21819, features a sturdy wire frame connecting the head to the polished blade via a smooth-turning barrel swivel. The condition is a remarkable 5/5, with the hardware and soft plastic showing no signs of use or age. A single sharp hook emerges from the center of the grub body, positioned for traditional casting and retrieval techniques.
