Museum Archive: Glen Evans Colorado Spinner 2, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #17891

Gold teardrop blades characterize these vintage Colorado Spinners, which remain preserved in their original Glen L. Evans factory display. Each lure in this two-piece set weighs 1/4oz (7g) and measures 3 1/4" (8cm) from the top eyelet to the bend of the treble hook. Identified by product code 17891, these lures are constructed with a series of brass beads and high-quality swivels to ensure the components rotate smoothly. The silver-finished treble hooks are original to the assembly, specifically matched to the size of the gold-plated blades. Since these specimens carry a condition rating of 6, they are unused and represent a well-kept example of mid-century American tackle manufacturing. The card graphics emphasize the durable, trouble-proof assembly designed for both steelhead and salmon fishing. On the reverse side, the packaging lists the extensive catalog of tackle once offered by the company, from popping bugs to nature lures, noting their commitment to gear that fools the fish rather than the fisherman. The gold blades are mounted on traditional wire clevises to facilitate rotation around the main shaft.
