Museum Archive: Vintage Other June-Bug, 1/4oz spinning lure #22301

Featuring a tandem blade design, this 6" (15cm) June-Bug spinner captures the essence of mid-century freshwater trolling. The hardware includes two nickel-finished blades positioned over bright red spacer beads, which provide a sharp contrast against the wire leader. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the rig is built on a heavy-gauge wire frame ending in a long-shanked single hook. Under product code 22301, this USA-made lure arrives in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved metal components and a secure barrel swivel at the head. Collectors will appreciate the way the blades are mounted to rotate independently around the central shaft, a technical hallmark of the June-Bug pattern. The hook remains sharp and the wire remains straight, making it a solid representative of the vintage spinner category from this era. Each blade is shaped with the characteristic offset bend that defines the style's unique profile during a steady retrieve.
