Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Tandem Spinner, 1/2oz spinning lure #20168

Stamped clearly into the silver-toned metal of the lower blade, the "PFLUEGER TANDEM SPINNER" trademark identifies this piece as a genuine American-made classic. Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) in total length, this 1/2 oz (14 g) assembly features a tandem blade configuration designed for high visibility. The teardrop blades exhibit a vintage cream and red paint scheme over a gold-tone base, while the reverse sides maintain their reflective nickel plating. At the business end, a single hook is meticulously dressed with white-spotted guinea fowl feathers and a splash of red fibers, secured with a tidy wrap. Cataloged under product code 20168, the lure's construction includes a sturdy wire frame and an integrated lead swivel to manage line twist. The condition is rated 4/5, showing some light thinning of the paint on the blade faces while the feather dressing remains full and well-preserved.
