Museum Archive: Blakemore Baits Road Runner Original Marabou Jigs 2 pcs, 1/8oz Black fishing spoon #12896

Black marabou feathers define the silhouette of these 1/8oz (3.5g) Blakemore Baits jigs. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, this pair features the signature Road Runner underspin blade positioned just below the lead head to provide flash during the retrieve. These specimens are unused and remain preserved in their original carded packaging. Categorized under product code 12896, the deep black color pattern extends through the delicate marabou tail, a traditional choice for fishing in various water clarities. The reverse side of the card displays original instructional diagrams for varied depth retrieves and vertical jigging techniques, including the manufacturer's Branson, Missouri address. Each lure is constructed with a small silver-colored blade attached via a swivel to the chin of the jig head. A vintage retail sticker from Meijer remains on the back of the packaging, adding a touch of provenance to this specific set.
