Gold-finished components define the aesthetic of this classic American-made spinner. The blade is clearly stamped with 'JOE'S FLIES 3.5,' marking its place in the manufacturer’s historic catalog. At a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), the weighted brass body and spacers provide the necessary heft for casting into tight spots. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 6603, showcases a hand-tied black hackle fly body with a touch of reflective tinsel. The hardware arrangement is a signature of the brand, featuring a long-shank single hook paired with a small trailing treble hook to catch short-striking fish. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure represents the traditional craftsmanship synonymous with tackle produced in the USA. Given its 4/5 condition, the gold plating remains bright and the feather dressing is well-preserved, showing only minor evidence of age.
