Vintage William Shakespeare Shakespeare Jet spinner , 1/8oz spinning lure #23505

Green-striped patterns on a silver-finished blade characterize this early inline spinner from the William Shakespeare Jr. era. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen represents the craftsmanship of the Michigan-based company founded in 1897. The blade is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark, tying the piece directly to its Kalamazoo heritage. The body is constructed with a series of three textured brass-colored beads, a vibrant red accent bead, and a conical weight that sits just above the treble hook. This Shakespeare Jet spinner, identified by product code 23505, remains in 4/5 condition, showing gentle signs of age on the metal surfaces while maintaining the structural integrity of its USA-made components. The clevis attachment is designed to keep the blade spinning around the central wire shaft, which terminates in a hand-twisted line tie.
