Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Little George, 1/2oz spinning lure #22319

Hammered silver characterizes the rear-mounted spinner blade on this vintage 1/2 oz (14 g) tail spinner, a design that has remained effective for decades. This specific Mann's Little George, carrying Product Code 22319, features a yellow body with a subtle black dusting across the top and a prominent red eye with a black center. Measuring 2" (5 cm), the lure is a classic example of USA-made tackle from Mann's Bait Company. The hardware remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the belly-mounted treble hook and split ring showing minimal signs of handling. Its heavy lead construction and top-mounted line tie are engineered for reaching significant depths or casting great distances into the wind. A secondary black spot sits adjacent to the main eye, adding a bit of visual complexity to the paint scheme.
