Museum Archive: Vintage ​Glen Evans Shyster , 1/4oz spinning lure #14263

Red and black spotted paint covers the weighted teardrop body of this 1/4oz (7g) spinner, a classic piece of Glen Evans history from Caldwell, Idaho. Identifying this specimen by product code 14263, collectors will notice the crisp stamping on the oval silver blade, marking it as an original Shyster. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure is designed for effective use during slow retrieves in both still lakes and running streams. The painted finish shows some visible wear and paint loss on the weighted body, which is consistent with its 4/5 condition rating. Heavy-duty wire construction and a well-preserved treble hook ensure it remains a functional part of any vintage tackle box. Small metal beads act as spacers between the blade clevis and the body, ensuring the hardware remains properly aligned during use.
