Gold-finished blade stamped with the "HILDEBRANDT" hallmark and "N° 2 1/2" size marks this piece as a classic American-made spinner from the USA. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length, the wire frame utilizes a safety-pin style linkage designed for quick adjustments on the water. At 1/8 oz (3.2 g), the weight is ideal for light-tackle situations where a subtle presentation is needed. A hand-tied black hair body serves as the primary profile, featuring a prominent yellow and black eye and a subtle red tail accent near the single hook. Rated 4/5, the lure shows a gentle softening of its luster on the metal surfaces while maintaining clean, straight hardware. This specific item, identified by product code 3168, showcases the craftsmanship John J. Hildebrandt pioneered over a century ago. The single hook is securely embedded within the fibers, a detail typical of early weighted inline spinners meant for casting.
