Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure L&S Bait Company MirrOlure Sinker , 1/4oz gold fishing lure #18192

A classic gold finish paired with a dark, contrasting back defines the aesthetic of this vintage 1/4oz (7g) American sinker. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this L&S Bait Company MirrOlure (Product Code 18192) represents a piece of mid-century angling history from the USA. The most distinctive feature is the oversized, rectangular metal diving lip, which is characteristic of early deep-diving designs. The lure is finished in a bright gold scale pattern with a solid black spine, showing a slight mark of use on the top surface. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks that show some honest aging while remaining structurally sound. A subtle red accent line near the gill plate adds a touch of visual contrast near the eye. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the body retains its luster, reflecting the quality craftsmanship L&S was known for. As a sinking model, it was engineered for reaching specific depths during the retrieve or troll.
