Museum Archive: Vintage Canadian Wiggler, 1oz Orange / Black / Red fishing lure #1249

Measuring 4" (10cm) in length, this Canadian-made lure features a distinctive curved metal body designed for heavy-duty casting or trolling. Identified by product code 1249, the heavy 1oz (28g) metal construction is finished in a vibrant orange with a solid black spine and three red dots on each flank. This specimen is rated 4/5, exhibiting a clean surface and well-maintained hardware that reflects its history in the field. The two treble hooks are securely attached via sturdy split rings to the hollow-ground metal frame. Its profile is defined by a deep-dish nose where the line tie is anchored, a hallmark of the manufacturer's approach to durable lure design.
