Museum Archive: Vintage Erie Dearie Walleye Killer , 2/5oz Nickel / Red spinning lure #12592

Nickel finishes on the stamped blade provide a classic flash that has defined walleye fishing for decades. This 2/5 oz (12 g) Erie Dearie Walleye Killer, designated by product code 12592, is built around a distinctively shaped orange and red lead head. The weight-forward configuration is a signature of this USA-made spinnerbait, allowing for stable presentations during a drift. Along the wire shaft, two translucent red beads and a polished metal bead provide spacing for the nickel-plated spinner blade. A long-shank, gold-tone hook extends from the rear, traditionally used for rigging with live nightcrawlers to increase the profile. This particular specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, featuring a clean lead head and a bright, legible brand stamp on the blade surface.
