Nickel and copper finishes meet on the teardrop-shaped Colorado blade of this vintage Pflueger Bear Valley spinner. Stamped with the size #3 and the classic bulldog trademark, the blade shows the clear craftsmanship of its USA origins. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, the lure features three faceted red beads that act as both spacers and visual attractors along the wire shaft. This specimen, identified by product code 22963, weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and maintains a condition rating of 5/5. A sturdy treble hook is attached to the rear, while the lead end is finished with a period-correct barrel swivel for line connection. The dual-tone plating on the blade provides a distinct contrast, typical of the high-quality hardware produced during this era of American tackle history.
