Vintage Jamison Shannon Twin Spinner, 1/2oz nickel spinning lure #18706

Stamped onto the twin nickel blades are the 'SHANNON TWIN' identifiers, marking this Jamison classic as a true piece of angling history. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this specimen (Product Code 18706) demonstrates the innovative weedless construction that made the manufacturer famous. The central body features a natural hair dressing secured behind a distinct red-painted head, a design choice that traces back to the original 1920s patent and remained a staple through the 1940s. Its twin-bladed assembly is supported by a sturdy wire frame, terminating in a large single hook designed for navigating heavy cover. Made in the USA, the metal components show light signs of age consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, while the bucktail retains its original profile. The wire guards remain intact, highlighting the intentional engineering behind this early multi-component lure.
