Museum Archive: Vintage Worth #301, 1/3oz black/gold/red spinning lure #23483

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), the Worth #301 features a classic inline spinner construction geared toward casting. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) frame is centered around a vibrant red cigar-shaped body that assists with casting weight. Its hammered-texture blade displays a clever contrast: one side is finished in solid gold, while the other features alternating black and gold stripes to generate visual flicker. The business end is equipped with a sharp treble hook, accented with orange and white feathers secured by a red thread wrap. This USA-made lure, cataloged under product code 23483, is in 5/5 condition, with the paint on the body and the blade's striped pattern remaining exceptionally clean. Sturdy brass-colored beads and a secure wire loop reflect the standard build quality associated with vintage Worth tackle.
