Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley scent vent, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #8185

Bright chartreuse ribbing defines the central body of this vintage inline spinner, a design feature engineered to hold liquid attractants. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the specimen features a polished gold-toned blade stamped with the manufacturer's name, providing a classic metallic flash during a steady retrieve. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure is finished with a matching chartreuse feathered treble hook that adds a soft, natural profile to the presentation. This specific model, product code 8185, utilizes a wire-through construction with secure, professional-grade twists at both the line tie and the hook eye. The gold-finished teardrop blade is balanced by brass-colored end caps that enclose the scent-venting chamber, highlighting Berkley's innovative approach to tackle during this era. Every component, from the metallic surfaces to the delicate hackle, is in excellent state, deserving a condition rating of 5/5.
