Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #6495

A bright gold finish dominates this 3/16 oz (6 g) inline spinner, highlighting the meticulous craft of Joe's Flies. The teardrop-shaped blade is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark and '3.5,' mounted on a classic wire frame that facilitates long casts. Beneath the bullet-style brass body and balancing bead, the treble hook is expertly dressed with vibrant yellow and red feathers, accented by a fine gold wire wrap along the shank. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure provides a substantial visual presence in the water. The specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant luster on all metallic components and a pristine feathered tail. Registered under Product Code 6495, this American-made spinner remains a staple for collectors of high-quality mountain tackle.
