Museum Archive: Vintage Silverlake, 1/8oz Gold / Fluorescent Green spinning lure #5557

Fluorescent green paint covers the lower half of the gold blade on this vintage Silverlake spinner, a notable detail for any fan of high-visibility attractors. Found in its original 5/5 condition, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) lure carries the product code 5557 and showcases the quality of mid-century USA manufacturing. The 1/8 oz (3.7 g) weighted body is finished in a matching green with distinct black dots, balanced by a feathered treble hook at the rear. Silverlake is stamped directly into the gold plating of the blade, which is mounted on a straight wire frame with a top loop for line attachment. The chartreuse feathers are tied securely to the hook, adding a soft visual element to the hard metal and painted surfaces.
