Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Bang Tail, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #6691

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) from the eyelet to the hook bend, the profile of this Luhr Jensen Bang Tail is a staple of American-made tackle history. The 3/16oz (5.5g) weight is centered on a lead body finished in a striking yellow and green honeycomb pattern. A gold-plated blade, stamped with the Bang Tail branding and size 2, hangs from a solid wire frame equipped with a brass bead. This specific specimen carries the product code 6691 and is rigged with a feathered treble hook featuring vibrant green and yellow hackles. The top of the lure includes an integrated swivel, a standard feature for this model to help manage line twist during casting or trolling. In 5/5 condition, the gold finish maintains a high-mirror shine and the painted body shows no signs of wear. The feathered dressing remains full and bright, preserving its original factory appearance.
