Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, 1/8oz nickel fishing spoon #19494

Nickel finishes like the one on this Yakima Bait spoon provide a classic, high-flash profile that has remained a staple in many trolling kits. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this Skiny-miny (Product Code: 19494) is built on a slender rectangular metal blank with a subtle, intentional curve. This specific design allows the lure to rotate four to five turns in one direction before reversing the spin, a technical feature engineered to prevent line twist while maintaining constant movement. Stamped with its name directly into the metal, this American-made specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining a brilliant luster across its entire surface. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, reflecting the simple but durable construction typical of Yakima Bait's utility-focused designs.
