Museum Archive: Vintage Rogers Big Jim , 3/4oz fishing lure #19814

Scaling in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this 19814 model exemplifies the manufacturing style Rogers has maintained since its founding in 1959. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure features a pearlescent white body decorated with a light blue scale pattern on the back and soft pink accents on the sides. A distinctive feature of this specimen is the white bucktail dressing on the rear treble hook, providing a natural fiber profile to the hardware. The condition is a solid 4/5, showing light evidence of use with some minor marks on the belly, though the hooks and hangers remain clean. Integrated into the front is a short, downward-sloping lip, intended for targeting shallow water structures. Large yellow eyes with black pupils give the head a classic look, standing out against the pale gill plates.
