Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies 1, 1/32oz Gold spinning lure #12546

A vibrant chartreuse fuzzy body provides a striking contrast against the dense black hackle on this traditional feathered lure. Weighing in at a delicate 1/32 oz (1 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this specimen from Joe's Flies (Product Code 12546) is a classic example of American-made ultralight tackle. The gold-plated spinner blade is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5 for its pristine surfaces and sharp hooks. This particular build features a gold-tone wire shaft that connects the blade to the hand-tied body, which is anchored by a dual treble hook arrangement. The black wing detail adds a bit of visual depth to the overall profile, a hallmark of the Joe's Flies 1 series designed for targeting panfish and trout in shallow streams.
