Museum Archive: Vintage Berkley scent vent, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #9437

A vibrant gold-tone willow leaf blade dominates the profile of this Berkley Scent Vent spinner. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), the central component is a distinctive yellow ribbed plastic body, specifically engineered to trap and release fish attractant during use. This particular specimen, identified by Product Code 9437, is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved metal finishes and a clean, intact scent-venting sleeve. The hardware features a treble hook dressed in bright yellow feathers and marabou, providing a soft visual element behind the weighted body. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), the lure's construction includes a sturdy wire shaft and a classic top-eyelet for easy line attachment. Made in the USA, the gold-plated blade is stamped with the Berkley brand logo, a hallmark for collectors of vintage mid-century terminal tackle.
