Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Shyster, 1/4oz Nickel / purple spinning lure #3662

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the weighted body of this spinner is finished in a distinct purple tone that complements its reflective nickel blade. This specific specimen, bearing product code 3662, remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showcasing the quality of Glen Evans' original USA production. The nickel-finished blade is clearly stamped with the Shyster name and manufacturer's mark, a detail collectors use to identify it as an early production before the model was later picked up by brands like Luhr Jensen. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length, the lure features a feathered treble hook and an unusual offset line-tie loop designed to maintain stability during the slow-speed retrieves for which it was originally engineered.
