Museum Archive: Other Big Chuck's Walley Lure, 3/5oz Chartreuse spinning lure #9697

Chartreuse Pearl serves as the vibrant color scheme for this Big Chuck's Pro Walleye Lure #3, a piece of angling history from Diamondspin Lure of Cleveland, Ohio. This 3/5oz (17g) spinnerbait, identified by product code 9697, is presented in its original retail bag which includes detailed use and care instructions. The lure features a distinct line of six white pearl beads leading to a bright chartreuse soft body and a large, silver-finished willow leaf blade designed to catch the light. According to the original manufacturer's notes, the design is intended to sink at a rate of approximately 1ft (0.3m) per second, allowing anglers to utilize a precise countdown method to reach specific depths. The packaging also highlights a quick hook clasp feature for easy trailer adjustments. Produced in the USA, this specimen is in unused condition, showing a rating of 6. The back of the package carries the company slogan, 'Diamonds are a fisherman's best friend,' alongside the Cleveland-based address and original UPC.
