A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) identifies this Gold Russelure 3 as a solid piece of mid-century angling equipment. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure carries product code 16704 and reflects the quality of the Texas-based manufacturer established in 1947. This handmade specimen is a 1949 model, featuring a stamped brand name on the curved metal spine and a line-tie hole near the tapered end. Dual treble hooks are held in place by specialized metal clips on the underside, ensuring the hardware stays fixed during casting or trolling. Boasting a condition rating of 5/5, the gold finish remains bright and clean, characteristic of a well-maintained tool crafted in the USA.
