Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Little George Tail Spinner​, 3/4oz nickel spinning lure #24117

Weighing in at a substantial 3/4 oz (21 g), the lead-bodied construction of this vintage piece allows for efficient deep-water presentations. The Mann's Bait Company Little George Tail Spinner, cataloged under Product Code 24117, remains one of the most recognizable designs in American angling history. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure features a nickel color finish highlighted by a hammered-texture tail blade that catches light effectively. The paint on this specimen exhibits honest wear from previous use, particularly around the nose, resulting in a soft 4/5 condition rating. A prominent red-and-black eye is painted on the side, providing a clear focal point. Equipped with a belly-mounted treble hook, this USA-made lure is built for reaching depths where schooling fish often hold. The hardware shows a clean finish, and the rear swivel is securely attached to ensure the nickel blade rotates freely.
