Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure MirrOlure, 3/32oz Gold fishing lure #8501

Crafted in the USA, this diminutive sinking lure weighs in at a light 3/32 oz (2.5 g). This specific MirrOlure specimen, carrying product code 8501, measures a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) and features a classic Gold finish with a dark back and subtle red accents near the gills. The hardware includes two original treble hooks attached via a belly screw and a rear eyelet. A notable feature of this construction is the rectangular metal diving lip, which is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmarks. The body shows its age through a gentle softening of the finish, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. Designed by the L&S Bait Company for sinking applications, collectors often look for these smaller variants intended for species like pike or walleye. The painted eyes remain distinct against the gold-tinted sides.
