Stamped clearly onto the heart-shaped nickel blade are the words "Les Davis Bolo," a hallmark of this vintage American spinner. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the construction pairs a faceted reflective insert with a weighted red body to provide contrast in varied lighting conditions. A small red plastic teaser is positioned right at the treble hook, adding a splash of color to the tail end of the 3/16oz (4.5g) assembly. Originating from the USA, the lure reflects the mid-century manufacturing style of Les Davis, known for effective trout and salmon gear. The hardware includes smooth brass beads and a secure wire loop for line attachment. This specific collector’s item, identified by product code 23084, is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved with its nickel finish and paint intact.
