Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure Mirro lure, 1/4oz Natural / Red fishing lure #0361

A striking red gill mark accents the side of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) Mirro lure, highlighting its vintage American heritage. Manufactured by L&S Bait Company under product code 0361, the specimen features a classic natural scale pattern transitioning from a dark back to a lighter belly. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7g), the lure is equipped with a distinct metal diving lip secured to the nose, designed for specific depth control during casting. The paint retains a soft glow, and the overall state of the body and hardware reflects a well-preserved 4/5 condition. Each treble hook is attached via sturdy hangers, typical of mid-century L&S construction methods. The scale detailing on the flanks shows the meticulous craftsmanship that made these lures a staple in tackle boxes across the USA.
