Stamped clearly into the silver-finished blade is the number "66," identifying this classic Paul Bunyan spinner. It weighs in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g) and measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) from the eyelet to the end of the dressing. The silver-finished blade is paired with a textured, scale-patterned lead head that provides the necessary weight for casting or trolling. The dressing features a dense black hair bunch, accented by a single cream-colored quill that adds a subtle contrast to the silver/black color scheme. A sturdy wire shaft connects the rotating blade via a clevis and a small metal bead, leading down to the dressed hook. This specimen, identified by product code 19552, remains in exceptional 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish on the metal components and a full, well-preserved tail. Hailing from the USA, the Paul Bunyan 66 is a staple for those who appreciate the straightforward, effective designs of mid-century American tackle.
