A teardrop-shaped gold-toned blade serves as the focal point of this vintage inline spinner from the J.C. Higgins line. Measuring 4" (10cm) in length and weighing a light 1/8oz (3.4g), this piece (Product Code 0982) reflects the classic American tackle design era. The assembly features a single translucent red bead near the line-tie swivel, providing a small pop of color against the wire shaft. A single hook is secured at the tail with a neat wire wrap, showcasing the straightforward construction of USA-made gear sold through the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog. The specimen is presented in 4/5 condition, retaining a clean metallic finish and structural integrity that will interest any collector of heritage sporting goods. The blade is designed with a punched-out center slot to facilitate its rotation around the central shaft during use.
