Museum Archive: Vintage The Producers Willy's Worm, 1/4oz Orange fishing lure #9588

Orange dominates the lower half of this specimen, merging into a beautifully rendered silver and gold scale pattern across the arched back. This Willy’s Worm, produced by Producers in the USA, carries the product code 9588 and presents in 5/5 condition. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (8 g), the lure features a distinctive oversized diving lip designed for deep-water presentations. The large yellow eyes with prominent black pupils are a signature look for this model, providing a bold focal point against the textured scaling. Original hardware includes two silver-finished treble hooks, with one belly-mounted and one at the tail. A pre-attached snap on the wide, rounded lip ensures it remains exactly as it left the factory. The transition from the bright orange underbelly to the darker, metallic top reflects the quality manufacturing of the era.
