Museum Archive: Monti Swiss Lures, 3/32oz spinning lure #14502

Weighing in at 1/10 oz (2.8 g), the small brass blade of this spinner is designed for precision in light tackle scenarios. This particular specimen, identified by product code 2P (14502), showcases a gold-finished spoon accented by three black horizontal stripes and three vivid red dots. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure is built around a sturdy stainless steel wire shank and weighted with polished brass beads to assist with casting. The craftsmanship of these Swiss-made lures is evident in the inclusion of hollowground fine point hooks, intended for a secure hookset on species like trout, black bass, and perch. Still mounted on its original green cardboard packaging from the importer Brandis, Inc., the lure is unused. The reverse of the card provides a detailed reference for the Monti lineup, categorizing this specific color pattern and weight for finesse applications.
