Museum Archive: Vintage Millsite Tackle Millsite Rattle Bug Plastiс floater, 2/5oz Ladybug fishing lure #19062

Painted in a classic Ladybug finish, the red upper body of this 2" (5 cm) plastic floater is segmented by distinct black lines. This specimen from Millsite Tackle features an internal rattle, a design choice meant to add a noise-making element to the presentation. The forward-facing yellow eyes with black centers give the face a lifelike expression just above the brass-toned metal diving lip. Cataloged as product code 19062, it weighs 2/5 oz (12 g) and rests on an off-white belly that shows the original plastic molding. Dual treble hooks are attached—one mid-body and one at the tail—showing clean hardware throughout. This USA-manufactured lure is a high-quality example of vintage insect imitations and maintains a condition rating of 5/5.
