Nickel-plated finishes characterize the broad, oval blade of this size #5 spinner, providing a high-visibility flash that has defined the brand since its French origins. This unused specimen remains in its original packaging, preserving the hardware in a state that reflects its manufacture under product code 2279. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) with a total length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure is built around a sturdy wire shaft and a fluorescent orange sleeve that serves as a visual attractor. A precise cone rotation system defines the mechanics, allowing the blade to maintain a steady spin regardless of the retrieval speed. Assembled in the USA with components that trace back to Andre Meulnart's 1938 invention, the lure features a sharp treble hook designed for the heavy strikes of northern pike and musky.
