Museum Archive: Glen Evans Shyster-BOB, 3/16oz silver spinning lure #21700

Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g) according to the records, this inline spinner features a silver blade stamped with its 1/8 oz designation and "Made in U.S.A." text. The Shyster-BOB, identified by product code 21700, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and showcases a distinct black-and-white scale pattern on its weighted body. A dense white feather dressing surrounds the treble hook, providing a stark contrast to the metallic finishes. Manufactured by Glen L. Evans, Inc. in Caldwell, Idaho, during their tenure as a division of the Gladding Corporation, the lure retains its original yellow and green card. The hardware is comprised of a clevis-mounted hammered silver blade and a robust wire frame. This specimen remains unused, maintaining its factory-fresh appearance and the integrity of the vintage blister pack.
