Museum Archive: Vintage Jerry's Flies , 3/64oz Gold spinning lure #8485

At just 3/64oz (1.4g), this light-tackle spinner from Jerry's Flies highlights the American manufacturing tradition that spans over five decades. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the #707 Brown Hackle model is built on a slender wire frame featuring a gold-finished teardrop blade and a single brass bead spacer. The feathered hook is expertly tied with natural brown hackle over a segmented grey body with gold ribbing, providing a distinct silhouette. Identified by product code 8485, the specimen is in excellent condition and receives a 5/5 rating. These specialized lures are designed for precision casting in smaller streams or ponds where a delicate presentation is necessary to entice panfish or trout. The wire harness is finished with a simple loop for line attachment and a quick-change snap that secures the hand-tied fly. The gold plating on the blade retains its original luster, complementing the earthy tones of the feathered dressing.
