Vintage Bud Stewart Jointed Wood, 1/3oz fishing lure #23311

A vibrant yellow flat tail provides a sharp visual contrast to the hand-painted scaled pattern found on this Bud Stewart Jointed Wood specimen. Weighing 1/3oz (10g), the three-section wooden body is finished in a deep green scale motif that shifts into cream and muted red highlights on the underside. The construction relies on robust metal hinges between the segments, paired with a wide metal diving lip and distinct yellow eyes for visibility. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), the lure retains its original hardware, including two treble hooks fastened with metal plates and screws. This rarity, identified by product code 23311, represents the handcrafted legacy of American lure making and sits at a 4/5 condition rating, showing well-maintained surfaces and clean components. The articulation of the wooden segments and the placement of the hardware are intended for focused casting techniques in shallow waters.
