Museum Archive: Vintage Les Davis Bolo, 3/32oz nickel/red spinning lure #22719

Stamped clearly on the silver-finished blade are the BOLO name and patent information, signifying its authentic American heritage. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this spinner is a compact tool for technical stream fishing. The 3/32 oz (3 g) weight is centered on a maroon-painted torpedo body, which is bookended by brass-colored spacer beads. On the face of the nickel blade, a vibrant orange-red stripe is punctuated by three black dots, a classic high-visibility pattern for varied water conditions. A distinctive red plastic tab hangs near the tail, positioned right before the sharp treble hook to provide a localized splash of color. Cataloged as product code 22719, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint on the weighted section and clean, bright metal surfaces. The wire frame remains straight, leading to a precision-twisted eyelet designed for direct line attachment or a small snap.
