Vintage Glen Evans Shyster , 1/4oz Nickel/Green spinning lure #17009

Nickel-plated blades define the classic look of this Shyster, a design originally pioneered by Glen Evans before production was later handled by brands like Luhr Jensen. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen features a distinctive green body accented by black spots. A dressed treble hook with natural brown fibers adds a subtle profile in the water, complementing the flash of the silver-tone blade. As an early American spinner, the Shyster became a staple for anglers targeting species in both still lakes and running streams, performing effectively even during very slow retrieves. This particular example from the USA carries the product code 17009 and represents a significant piece of fishing heritage. The overall state of the lure is excellent, showing a well-preserved finish across its components, earning a 5/5 condition rating.
