Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure "L&S Bait Company MirrOlure Sinker ", 1/4oz fishing lure #8907

Shimmering gold and silver sides accented by a dark black back define the visual profile of this early L&S Bait Company MirrOlure. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this jointed sinking lure is a testament to mid-century American tackle design. A vibrant red slash sits beneath the eye, a classic detail intended to attract game fish. Identified by product code 8907, the lure features a sturdy metal diving lip and two original treble hooks. This specific specimen maintains a 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and clean hardware throughout its two-part body. As a Sinker model, its construction allows it to reach depths that buoyant lures cannot, making it a versatile tool for various casting techniques. The metal eyelet on the diving lip remains firmly attached to the frame.
