Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Shyster, 1/4oz yellow/gold spinning lure #20862

Yellow marabou feathers dress the trailing treble hook of this vintage 1/4 oz (7 g) spinner, providing subtle movement that pairs with the weighted yellow body and its signature black dots. Identified by product code 20862, this Luhr Jensen Shyster utilizes a specialized offset wire loop design, an engineering choice made to ensure the blade rotates freely in both still and moving waters. The gold-finished blade is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark and features a corrugated texture to maximize light reflection from various angles. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the specimen remains in exceptional 5/5 condition, showcasing the quality of these American-made staples. Small brass beads provide the necessary spacing on the shaft to keep the componentry aligned during a slow, steady retrieve.
