Tipping the scales at a delicate 3/64oz (1.5g), this small-profile fly rod lure represents the specialized craftsmanship of the Traverse City, Michigan-based Burke Fishing Lures. This No. 401 Flyrod Frog, cataloged under product code 18379, measures exactly 1 1/4" (3cm) and features a detailed green-spotted pattern designed to mimic a juvenile amphibian on the water's surface. The specimen is unused, still housed in its original vintage card and blister pack from McClellan Industries. The body construction utilizes a soft, pliable material that was a signature of Burke’s innovation in mid-century soft baits, equipped with a fine-wire single hook for fly fishing applications. Visual inspection shows the deep green dorsal coloring remains vibrant against the pale cream-colored underbelly.
