Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger June Bug, 1/3oz Nickel/Gold/Red spinning lure #18037

Sporting a classic Nickel and Gold finish on its dual blades, this specimen captures the essence of early 20th-century American lure design. This Pflueger June Bug, identified by product code 18037, measures 5 1/2" (14cm) in total length and weighs a nimble 1/3oz (9g). The construction features a unique tandem spinner arrangement where each blade is stamped with the Pflueger branding, accented by small red beads and a brass-toned barrel swivel at the head. Originating from the USA, the lure is rigged with a vibrant red ribbed soft plastic trailer that culminates in a curly tail, partially concealing a sharp single hook. All metallic surfaces remain bright and well-preserved, contributing to its excellent 5/5 condition rating. The larger nickel blade includes distinctive slot-like cutouts, a functional design element tailored for specific water resistance during a steady retrieve.
