Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Hildebrandt 2 Flicker Spinner, 3/64oz Nickel/gold fishing spoon #17657

Stamped clearly with the "HILDEBRANDT 2" mark, the teardrop-shaped blade on this spinner features a classic nickel finish on the front with a contrasting gold-toned reverse. This 1 1/4" (3cm) specimen, identified by product code 17657, showcases the clever flicker design where two miniature blades are mounted directly onto the single hook shank for added flash. Produced in the USA by Yakima Bait, the assembly weighs a delicate 3/64oz (1.4g) and includes a brass-colored swivel attached via a sturdy split ring. The nickel plating remains bright and the hardware is exceptionally well-preserved, earning a 5/5 condition rating. A small gold bead is positioned near the barb of the hook, adding a final touch of detail to this lightweight trout and panfish specialist.
