Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure "L&S Bait Company MirrOlure", 3/32oz Golden Trout fishing lure #5746

Stamping on the metal diving lip clearly identifies this piece as a product of the L&S USA factory. Weighing in at a delicate 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this vintage L&S Bait Company MirrOlure is a classic example of early American craftsmanship. The body measures exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) and is finished in a warm Golden Trout pattern, featuring a yellow-gold belly and sides that transition into a dark, olive-black back with subtle spotting along the flanks. A distinct red gill mark is painted just behind the bright orange glass-style eyes, adding a touch of contrast to the head. This particular specimen, cataloged under product code 5746, is in exceptional condition, rated 5/5 as it remains unused. It is equipped with two silver-colored treble hooks, showing no signs of wear. The square-shaped metal lip is secured firmly to the underside of the head, intended for casting techniques when targeting pike or walleye. This L&S Bait Company MirrOlure reflects the mid-century era of fishing tackle production in the United States.
