Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Shyster, 1/4oz white/nickel spinning lure #23713

Diagonal grooves across the nickel blade define the visual profile of this vintage inline spinner. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the lead body is finished in a white base accented by dark blue-black chevron stripes, a hallmark of the early Glen Evans Shyster series. This design was so effective it was later adopted by brands like Luhr Jensen, yet this original Glen Evans version, product code 23713, remains a sought-after piece for collectors. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) from the wire loop to the hook bend, it features a treble hook dressed in natural cream-colored feathers. The condition is rated 4/5, showing some light chipping on the painted lead body and minor surface marks on the blade that reflect its long history. It is designed to be fished effectively in both standing and flowing waters using a steady retrieve.
