Museum Archive: Rogers Crappie Stopper Fly, Bee fishing #20685

Striking yellow and black bands define the Bee pattern on this specimen, creating a high-contrast profile designed specifically for panfish. Hailing from Lamar, Missouri, this Rogers Crappie Stopper Fly remains preserved in its original vintage packaging, secured with a classic staple. The 1/16 oz (1.77 g) weight is handwritten on the header card, identifying it as the HJC-5 Hackle Jig model. This lure is unused, meaning the yellow hackle remains stiff and the paint on the lead head is free of chips or oxidation. Collectors will appreciate the World Champion Lures branding on the aged cardstock, reflecting the mid-century reputation of Rogers Flies and Lures. The internal Let's Go Fishing! display card keeps the fine materials shielded, maintaining the integrity of the hand-tied body. This specific item carries the product code 20685 and features distinct segmentation across its fuzzy thorax.
