Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Colorado Spinner 2/0, spinning lure #17907

Brass-colored Colorado blades are mounted on flexible bead chains to ensure these lures move through the water without twisting the fishing line. Manufactured in Caldwell, Idaho, these spinners represent a classic era of Glen L. Evans tackle production, featuring the wide, teardrop-shaped blades known for high visibility in murky water. This specimen carries the product code 17907 and remains in its original vintage blister pack, which prominently displays the brand's 'E' logo and blue fish graphic. The hooks are sharp, silver-finished trebles attached securely to the bead chain bodies. Identified by the packaging as size 2/0, the set is unused and remains preserved exactly as it left the factory. The back of the display card lists a variety of period-correct tackle, from popping bugs to nature lures, and highlights the company’s commitment to fooling the fish rather than the angler. Each component, from the brass finish to the silver hooks, shows no signs of wear, making it an excellent example of mid-century American craftsmanship. The carding includes the specific designation B2 CT 2/0B printed clearly inside the plastic housing.
