Vintage TraveLure Trav-L-Plug , 3/4oz green fishing lure #21521

Green tones on the body transition into a darker back, accented by yellow-rimmed eyes on this 4" (10 cm) Trav-L-Plug. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the specimen carries product code 21521 and represents a fascinating era of 1950s American tackle innovation from TraveLure. The most striking feature is the large, clear circular plastic disk encompassing the front, which was designed for specific techniques such as a slow popping retrieval on the surface or steering the lure by feeding line after pulling it down. To achieve the "leaping action" noted in historical documentation, the angler jerks the lure just below the surface and releases quickly. The condition of this specific piece is 5/5, showcasing a remarkably well-preserved finish and bright, clear plastic hardware. TraveLure’s patented designs from both the USA and Canada often featured these complex clear components to maximize visual appeal without adding excessive bulk to the profile. When pulled down before surfacing, the lure will travel underwater, allowing the angler to hold for a moment to stop the natural wiggle before letting go.
