Museum Archive: Vintage Worth June bug, 3/16oz spinning lure #20141

Green soft plastic trailer with prominent black flakes defines the rear of this Worth June bug spinner, making it a distinctive find for collectors of vintage USA-made tackle. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), this specimen features the classic offset blade design synonymous with the June bug name. This specific construction ensures the silver-toned blade rotates immediately upon retrieval without sticking, a mechanical reliability that the Worth company was well known for. The wire harness is decorated with four polished metal beads and a small cylindrical weight, leading to a single hook embedded in the hula-grub style body. Carrying the product code 20141, this lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of age on the metallic components or the supple plastic tentacles. Its design is tailored for a steady retrieve where the spinning blade creates a visual contrast against the translucent green body.
