Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure "L&S Bait Company MirrOlure Bass-master", 1/16oz Gold fishing lure #4485

Gold scale finish paired with a deep dark back defines this jointed specimen from the L&S Bait Company. Weighing in at 1/16oz (2g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4cm), the MirrOlure Bass-master is a classic piece of American angling history, manufactured in the USA under product code 4485. The two-piece construction is connected by a sturdy metal hinge, a hallmark of L&S design aimed at creating a segmented profile for casting. A distinctive red gill slash sits just behind the dark eye, providing a pop of color against the yellow-gold sides. The metal diving lip is securely fastened, showing the durable build quality collectors expect from this brand. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the lure shows gentle character from its time in a tackle box while maintaining its structural integrity. Two original treble hooks are still in place, one suspended from the belly and the other trailing from the tail section.
