Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, 1/8oz gold fishing spoon #19507

Stamped clearly into the gold-finished metal body is the 'SKINY-MINY 1/8 OZ' branding, identifying this 2" (5 cm) Yakima Bait spoon as a versatile tool for the multi-species angler. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), the rectangular profile is optimized for a slow trolling presentation. A notable technical feature of this USA-made lure is its specialized movement, which involves rotating four to five times in one direction before reversing the same number of rotations in the opposite way to effectively eliminate line twist. This specific specimen, carrying Product Code 19507, presents beautifully with a bright, reflective surface and very clean hardware, deserving a 5/5 condition rating. The simple yet effective construction includes a sharp treble hook attached by a robust split ring, ensuring it is ready for the water or a collector's display.
