Museum Archive: Mann's Bait Little George, 3/5oz White / Hammered Nickel spinning lure #5116

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this classic lead-bodied tail spinner is a staple of southern reservoir fishing history from Eufaula, Alabama. The 3/5 oz (17 g) weight provides the necessary density to reach deep structure where schooling fish hold. It features a solid white body accented with a bold red and black eye, trailing a highly reflective hammered nickel blade attached via a swivel. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 5116, is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage blue-and-white blister pack. The packaging includes detailed fishing instructions for various depths and a historical special offer address for Mann's Special Offer that dates this card back to the late 1980s. A single belly-mounted treble hook and a robust top eyelet demonstrate the straightforward, rugged construction that has defined the Little George's reputation for decades.
