Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies, 1/32oz Gold spinning lure #5562

Polished gold plating covers the spinner blade of this 1/32oz (1g) specimen, which measures a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm). Stamped directly into the metal, the manufacturer name serves as a testament to its USA origin and Joe's Flies lineage. The construction features a classic inline design where a gold-colored blade sits on a wire shaft ahead of a meticulously tied feathered trailer. This trailer displays a mix of natural brown and black hackle, accented with a subtle red thread wrap at the head. Identified by product code 5562, the hardware remains bright and the hook points are keen. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, appearing remarkably well-preserved with no wear on the gold finish. The wire loop at the front is properly formed for secure line attachment, providing a solid connection for ultra-light casting.
