Museum Archive: Vintage Erie Dearie Walleye Killer, 1/2oz Nickel / Red / White spinning lure #10872

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this weight-forward spinnerbait reflects the classic Lake Erie design popularized by Captain Dan Galbincea. The nickel-finished blade is paired with two vibrant orange beads that sit just ahead of the long-shank gold hook. This specific Erie Dearie Walleye Killer, identified by Product Code 10872, features a distinctive white and red body section mounted securely on the wire harness. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length, the American-made lure is a testament to the specific 'count-down' technique used to reach walleye holding at specific depths. The hardware shows a clean, well-preserved finish, earning it a 5/5 condition rating. Its wire arm is straight, ending in a perfectly formed line tie loop designed for stable tracking during a slow retrieve or drift.
