Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger June Bug, 1/4oz Nickel/Gold/Red spinning lure #17775

Nickel plating with a distinct stamped leaf pattern defines the primary blade of this classic American spinner. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the Pflueger June Bug utilizes an offset wire arm design characteristic of early-to-mid 20th-century lure innovation. This particular specimen, identified by product code 17775, measures 5 1/2" (14 cm) from the front barrel swivel to the tip of its red curly-tail trailer. On the reverse side, the blade shows a warm gold finish, complemented by a pair of small red beads that act as spacers on the wire shaft. The single hook is securely seated within the ribbed red soft plastic, which remains vibrant and flexible. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright metallic finish on the hardware.
