Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the off-center hitch design of this vintage spinner was specifically engineered to eliminate the common headache of line twist during retrieval. This Luhr Jensen Shyster, carrying product code 12689, features a classic nickel blade paired with a white body accented by distinct black dots. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the build includes a feathered treble hook, a design detail often used to create a more natural profile while drifting through deep holes or fast-water streams. Produced in Hood River, Oregon, this specimen remains in its original red and yellow carded packaging and is in unused condition (rating: 6). The "Weighted Action" stamped on the card refers to the lure's internal weighting, which assists in reaching depth when casting for trout or steelhead. The combination of the reflective nickel finish and the high-contrast white and black dot body pattern makes it a versatile choice for both clear and stained water conditions.
