A vibrant burst of orange feathers distinguishes this vintage spinner, a characteristic silhouette for the Paul Bunyan Bait Company. Stamped with the "PAUL BUNYAN 66" logo on the teardrop-shaped blade, the lure weighs 3/16oz (5.5g) and measures 2 1/4" (6cm). The textured silver head and polished metal blade provide a classic flash that contrasts against the bright hackle tail. Listed in 3/5 condition, the lure shows honest signs of its history while remaining a solid representation of this USA-made model. Anglers should note that the original treble hook has been replaced. Collectors will recognize this specimen by product code 0988, a mid-century staple for light-tackle fishing.
