Vintage Wright & McGill Bug a Boo, 2/5oz Perch fishing lure #8896

Displaying a classic perch scale pattern, this 2/5 oz (12 g) lure features the distinctive rounded profile that collectors of vintage American tackle immediately recognize. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the Wright & McGill Bug a Boo shows honest signs of a life spent on the water, resulting in a character-filled 3/5 condition rating. Its plastic body is finished with a deep green back and black scale accents, which transition into a cream-colored belly and a vibrant red throat area. Large, recessed yellow eye sockets with dark pupils give the 8896 model its signature look. The hardware includes two treble hooks held by surface-style mounts; while the body is well-preserved, the hooks have naturally aged and would benefit from replacement for any angler planning a trip to the lake. The red-painted metal lip is fixed at a steep angle, a design choice from the USA manufacturer that defines the silhouette of this particular specimen.
