Museum Archive: Erie Dearie Walleye Killer, 2/5oz Nickel / Green spinning lure #2234

Nickel-plated spoon blades stamped with the iconic "ERIE DEARIE" brand define the classic look of this Midwestern favorite. Weighing 2/5oz (12g), this specimen features a vibrant neon green lead head accented by a simple red eye dot. Positioned between the rotating blade and the long-shank hook are two translucent orange beads that add visual contrast along the wire assembly. This particular lure, identified by product code 2234, remains in unused condition (rated 6) and is a representative example from the Erie Dearie Lure Co. out of Cortland, Ohio. The hardware is bright and the wire frame is clean, reflecting its history as a dedicated "Sensational Walleye Killer." According to the original manufacturer's guidance, this rig is designed for casting, wind drifting, or trolling, specifically when tipped with a nightcrawler for effectiveness.
