Museum Archive: Vintage Mister Twister Sportfisher, 3/16oz Brown / Yellow fishing lure #0623

Brown / Yellow tones give this 3/16oz (5 g) lure a classic metallic shimmer that catches the light effectively. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Mister Twister Sportfisher is a well-preserved piece of USA-made tackle history. The clear diving lip is prominently molded, extending forward to facilitate deeper water presentations during a troll or steady retrieve. The body displays a detailed scaled pattern along the sides, paired with a distinct black-circled eye detail. Labeled with product code 0623, the construction features two original treble hooks showing only very light signs of their age. Overall, the condition is rated 4/5, exhibiting slight surface character while remaining a sturdy example for any collector. The finish transitions smoothly from a deep coppery brown on the spine to a lighter yellow-gold toward the belly.
