Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies, 1/32oz Gold spinning lure #12548

Feathered fibers in a deep black form the core of this Joe's Flies lure, a classic spinner-fly hybrid manufactured in the USA. Identified by product code 12548, the design integrates a gold-finished spinner blade onto a wire frame for visual flash. The lure measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length and carries a minimal weight of 1/32 oz (0.7 g), suited for delicate casting. A gold-colored spinner and matching wire hardware lead to a trailing treble hook concealed within the dark hackle. This specimen presents in superb condition, appearing very well-maintained with clean metal and intact feathers, resulting in a 5/5 rating. The gold finish on the blade provides a distinct metallic gleam against the organic texture of the black body.
