Museum Archive: Vintage L&S Bait Mirro lure MirrOlure Bass-master model 25, 1/3oz Green fishing lure #1261

Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, this jointed swimmer features the classic two-piece construction that collectors associate with L&S Bait Company quality. The body is finished in a deep green scale pattern along the upper half, contrasted by a yellowed belly with dark vertical barred markings. Weighing 1/3oz (10g), the Bass-master model 25 is identified by product code 1261 and carries distinct yellow glass eyes that remain well-set in the head. The condition is a 4/5, exhibiting a clean appearance with very light wear to the metal diving lip and the two sets of treble hooks. Every component, from the screw-eye hardware to the articulated metal hinge, reflects the durable manufacturing standards of its era.
