Stamped clearly on the gold-toned blade is the "BANG TAIL 5" mark, identifying this classic inline spinner from Luhr Jensen's American-made era. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the construction centers around a weighted cylindrical body designed for effective casting distance. Rated at a 4/5, the gold finish across the metal components displays the gentle wear of a tool that has seen time in a tackle box while maintaining its structural integrity. The design incorporates a built-in barrel swivel at the head to address the line twist common with high-speed spinners. A sharp treble hook is secured at the tail, and the blade is mounted on a traditional clevis to rotate freely around the central wire shaft.
