Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger June Bug 6, 1/3oz spinning lure #17895

Gold-tone hubs anchor the distinctive tandem blades on this classic American-made setup, which measures a full 5 1/2" (14 cm). Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this Pflueger June Bug 6 is a prime example of mid-century trolling engineering. The wire shaft is meticulously rigged with translucent red beads that provide spacing for the two silver blades, leading back to a vibrant red, segmented plastic worm tail. A single gold-plated hook is positioned within the tail to secure strikes. Carrying product code 17895, the hardware remains bright and the soft plastic is remarkably supple for its age, earning this piece a 5/5 condition rating. A heavy-duty brass barrel swivel is crimped onto the leading eyelet, a necessary feature for preventing line twist during a steady retrieve.
