Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Shyster, 1/4oz white/nickel spinning lure #24119

White paint with dark speckled accents covers the weighted body of this vintage 1/4 oz (7 g) inline spinner. Identified as a Glen Evans Shyster with product code 24119, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) lure represents the original American design that was later popularized by manufacturers like Luhr Jensen. The hardware consists of a polished nickel blade designed to rotate freely even during the slow retrieves favored for targeting fish in both still water and active currents. Its construction features a series of metal beads on the wire shaft and a treble hook dressed with white feathers to enhance its profile. This particular specimen remains in 4/5 condition, appearing well-preserved with only light signs of age visible on the finish. The off-set weight of the body is a signature characteristic designed to assist with balance during retrieve.
