Vintage Marathon June-Bug, 3/16oz white/red spinning lure #22599

Spanning a total length of 6" (15cm), the wire-form construction of this specialized spinner highlights the utilitarian design of mid-century USA tackle. An offset blade carries a two-tone white and red color scheme, with the red application on the outer face showing character through its age while the underside remains a clean white. Two small red beads serve as spacers for the blade assembly, which is mounted on a rigid wire frame. This specimen, carrying product code 22599, weighs 3/16oz (5g) and features a long-shanked single hook attached by a coiled spring fastener. The metal surfaces exhibit signs of honest use that contribute to a 4/5 condition rating. The signature 'June-Bug' bend in the blade arm remains perfectly intact, a technical feature designed to offset the blade from the main shaft during rotation.
