Vintage Paul Bunyan Dyna -mite, 2/5oz fishing lure #23512

Stamped clearly onto the metal diving lip is the manufacturer’s mark, identifying this American-made rarity as the Paul Bunyan Dyna-mite under product code 23512. Measuring just 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure features a compact, teardrop-shaped body designed for targeted casting. The cream-colored finish is decorated with a series of black dots, including a prominent spot towards the rear, a design choice typical of mid-century USA tackle. Two sharp treble hooks are attached—one at the belly and one at the tail—using sturdy hardware. At 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure has a density that allows for accurate placement when casting toward cover. The condition of this specific piece is a 4/5, as the original paint and the distinctive stamping on the circular bib remain legible and well-preserved.
