Museum Archive: Mann's Bait Mann's Schoolin' George, 3/5oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #21280

A hefty 3/5oz (17g) weight concentrated in a small 1 1/2" (4cm) frame defines the Schoolin' George, a lead-bodied lure built for long-distance casting into breaking schools of fish. This unused specimen, rated a condition 6, retains its vibrant chartreuse finish, which features a prominent black side-spot and a bright red head for high-contrast visibility. Produced by Mann's Bait Company in Eufaula, Alabama, under product code 21280, it represents a classic piece of American-made tackle history. The original packaging highlights its versatility, noting it can be retrieved quickly near the surface or allowed to fall through the water column to mimic a wounded baitfish. Its construction includes a durable treble hook and a centered line tie designed to maintain stability during a variety of retrieval speeds. The card remains intact, showcasing the vintage Mann's logo and the 'Made in America' guarantee that collectors appreciate.
