Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger June Bug, 1/32oz spinning lure #15203

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in total length, this 1/32 oz (1.1 g) spinner is a prime example of mid-century American craftsmanship. Stamped directly onto the teardrop-shaped blade is the iconic Pflueger name, a detail often sought by collectors of USA-made gear. The blade itself displays a striking color scheme, with a bright silver lower half punctuated by a red paint accent and a gold-toned upper section. A small red bead is positioned behind the blade to facilitate smooth rotation, while a cylindrical lead weight is fixed to the wire shaft to help the lure descend into the water column. For hardware, it features a classic treble hook and an integrated barrel swivel at the head to help minimize line twist during use. This Pflueger June Bug, listed under product code 15203, is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and clean metallic surfaces across its entire frame.
