Spotted yellow paint over the teardrop-shaped lead body identifies this 1/8oz (4g) Glen Evans Shyster as an authentic piece of American angling history. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure features the distinctive offset line-tie wire that Glen Evans originally pioneered before the design was later adopted by manufacturers like Luhr Jensen. The polished nickel blade is clearly stamped with the Shyster name, paired with a matching yellow feathered treble hook at the rear. This specimen shows its age gracefully with minor, soft wear to the painted finish, representing a clean 4/5 condition rating. Its specific weighted construction is tailored for slow-speed retrieves in both still water and current, allowing the blade to rotate consistently. Every component, from the metal spacers to the wire-wrapped hook, remains original to product code 5752.
