Museum Archive: Vintage Raymond Rumpf & Sons Custom Tied Bucktail Jig, 1 1/4oz Yellow fishing #17482

Weighing in at 1 1/4 oz (35.4 g), this Raymond Rumpf & Sons Custom Tied Bucktail Jig is a substantial tool for anglers targeting deeper structures or heavy currents. The gold-painted lead head features a minimalist red-dot eye and holds a thick bundle of yellow bucktail hair. Secured by a contrasting red thread wrap, the hair is layered to create a full profile that reaches 3 1/4" (8.2 cm) when including the soft plastic trailer. That trailer consists of a ribbed, red-orange curly tail that extends the silhouette and adds a different texture to the lure. Identified by product code 17482, this specimen from the USA-based manufacturer shows a well-preserved build with a condition rating of 4/5. The finish on the head remains bright, and the integrated hook is properly positioned for vertical jigging or casting along rocky bottoms.
