Museum Archive: Erie Dearie Walleye Killer, 2/3oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #1954

Heavily weighted at 2/3 oz (18 g), this specific Walleye Killer features a bright yellow lead head finished with fine gold glitter. Made in the USA by Erie Dearie, the lure remains in its original clear packaging and is unused. The stamped nickel blade prominently displays the brand name, paired with a series of vibrant orange beads that lead to a sharp, long shank hook. Instructional text on the backing card suggests baiting the hook with a nightcrawler for drifting or trolling techniques. This model, identified by product code 1954, is a classic example of the weight-forward spinner design that gained legendary status on Lake Erie. The hardware consists of a sturdy wire frame and a large, polished nickel blade designed for presentation at various depths.
