Museum Archive: Vintage Jake's Lures Jake's Stream-a-Lure, 3/16oz Nickel / Red spinning lure #16045

Five distinct red dots are meticulously stamped across the polished nickel blade, providing the primary visual strike point for this vintage spinner. Identified by product code 16045, this Jake’s Stream-a-Lure weighs 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length. The solid nickel-finished bullet body provides the necessary density for accurate placement in varying currents, a hallmark of this USA-made design. A robust treble hook completes the assembly, secured by the central wire shaft that runs through the lure's core. In 5/5 condition, the reflective surfaces remain clear and free of wear, showcasing the quality manufacturing Jake’s Lures is known for. The blade is mounted on a small clevis, allowing it to rotate freely around the weighted body during a steady retrieve.
