Museum Archive: Vintage Other Gudebrod Golden Eye Maverick , 1/2oz Yellow fishing lure #9651

Yellow-to-pearl transitions on the body define this Gudebrod Golden Eye Maverick, a piece that captures the essence of mid-century fishing design. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), it features the signature large orange eyes with black pupils that give the Golden Eye series its name. The lure is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and a clear, integrated diving lip designed for subsurface presentation. Labeled with product code 9651, this specimen shows off a vibrant yellow back that fades into a clean white underside. The hardware is bright and the finish is remarkably well-preserved, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors of the Gudebrod line will appreciate the crispness of the paint and the overall integrity of the plastic body, which remains a sturdy example of the brand's manufacturing standards.
