Stamping on the gold-colored brass blade clearly identifies this 1/4oz (7g) lure as a Bud’s Spinner, specifically tailored for Steelhead. Produced by Yakima Bait, this specimen reflects the craftsmanship tradition of B&D Mfg., LLC, which has been hand-crafting these spinners in the USA since 1963. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the Steel Head 3 by Bud features a Size 3 blade and is outfitted with distinctive blood-red tubing over the treble hook shank. This configuration is intended for casting or trolling for a wide variety of game fish, including salmon, trout, and bass. The original yellow and red carding remains intact, and the lure itself is unused, retaining its bright factory finish. Product code 12204 and reference BS.503.B.BX are noted on the back label.
