Stamped clearly into the teardrop-shaped tail blade is the "LITTLE GEORGE" branding, identifying this 3/4 oz (21 g) lead-body lure as a genuine Mann's Bait product. This specimen, cataloged under product code 21856, features a hammered nickel blade paired with a small orange bead that acts as a bearing between the tail and the body. The 1 1/2" (4 cm) body is finished in a nickel pattern with a blue-teal top and a signature large pink eye with a black center. Originally developed by Tom Mann in the USA, this sinking tail spinner is built for reaching deep structures or for long-distance casting into surfacing schools. It is equipped with a belly-mounted treble hook and remains in 5/5 condition. The hammered texture of the blade provides a distinct visual profile, intended to catch and throw light from multiple angles during a steady retrieve or while vertical jigging.
