Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Shyster, 1/8oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #14867

Yellow paint with distinct black polka dots covers the weighted body of this classic inline spinner. Known to collectors as the Glen Evans Shyster (Product Code 14867), this 1/8 oz (4 g) lure is a piece of American angling history originating from the USA. The design features a specific offset loop construction, a technical detail that sets the original Shyster apart from more conventional spinner designs. A stamped nickel blade displays the characteristic branding and pairs with a treble hook dressed in bright yellow feathers. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the specimen is in 5/5 condition, with remarkably crisp paint and clean hardware. While later produced by other manufacturers like Luhr Jensen, this version represents the early legacy of the Glen Evans brand. The lure is intended for slow-retrieval techniques and functions across diverse water conditions, from still lakes to running streams.
