Museum Archive: Vintage The Producers Willy's Worm, 1/4oz fishing lure #17623

A striking silver chrome finish defines this vintage Producers Willy's Worm, a piece of American angling history identified by product code 17623. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (8 g), the body is accented by a vibrant teal back and a bold black skeleton-style pattern across the sides. The oversized yellow eyes with black pupils are a hallmark of the Producers' aesthetic from the USA. To achieve its deep-running status, it utilizes a large, polished metal diving lip equipped with an integrated line-tie snap. This particular specimen displays its vintage character with a small crack located near the tail treble, resulting in a condition rating of 3/5. The hardware includes two original treble hooks mounted via traditional split rings.
