Nickel-plated blades on these Colorado spinners catch the light with a mirror-like finish, a hallmark of the Glen L. Evans legacy in Caldwell, Idaho. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, each specimen is built on a sturdy wire frame accented by gold-toned brass beads that serve as spacers for the clevis. This specific set, carrying product code 17641, is in unused condition and remains sealed in its original vintage carded packaging. The teardrop Colorado blades are paired with classic silver-finish treble hooks, a configuration designed for maximizing flash and displacement during a steady retrieve. On the internal mounting card, the stamp B2 CT 1-N is clearly visible, identifying this pair as genuine American-made tackle from a brand that prided itself on making lures to fool the fish, not the fishermen.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
