Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Shyster, 1/4oz gold/red spinning lure #18189

A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) makes this inline spinner a classic choice for reaching deeper pockets of water where trout or bass often hold. The gold-finished blade is crisply stamped with the manufacturer's details from Caldwell, Idaho, paired with a weighted red body that sports clean black diamond patterns. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) from the eyelet to the tip of the tail, the lure utilizes a dressed treble hook with a dense mix of black and red feathers. Given its 5/5 rating, the hardware and paint remain in remarkable shape, preserving the original aesthetic of this Glen Evans creation. This specific collector's item is cataloged as product code 18189. A small brass bead sits just above the body, acting as a bearing for the clevis-mounted blade.
