Museum Archive: Vintage Unknown CO- Trout 0, 1/8oz spinning lure #0225

Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, a hybrid design combines the flash of a spinner with the realistic profile of a soft-bodied baitfish. The CO- Trout 0, identified by product code 0225, is built around a translucent minnow imitation that features a single belly hook and a distinct trailer hook at the tail. A bright neon orange attractor bead is positioned immediately ahead of the body, flanked by rounded brass beads and a textured, oval-shaped blade. Weighing 1/8oz (4g), this USA-made specimen is weighted for light line applications and precision casting. It holds a condition rating of 4/5, showing a clean wire frame and a well-preserved, supple plastic body. The rigging is assembled on a sturdy wire core, intended for steady retrieves in clear water environments where the natural color palette can be most effective.
