Museum Archive: Vintage Erie Dearie Twin, 1/2oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #2005

Stamped clearly on the nickel blades is the 'DEARIE TWIN' mark, identifying this as a specialized variant of the legendary weight-forward spinner. A bright yellow lead head, accented with a dark olive spray at the nose, provides the 1/2 oz (14 g) weight needed for deep-water drifting and casting. This specific model, product code 2005, utilizes a wire harness to accommodate two polished nickel blades rather than the traditional single, increasing the visual profile. The paint remains vibrant and the nickel components are reflective, leading to a condition rating of 5/5. Designed for the rigors of Great Lakes walleye fishing, the lure features a heavy-duty single hook integrated directly behind the weighted body. The stamped lettering on both blades is crisp and legible, reflecting the quality control of its American manufacturing roots.
