Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, 1/8oz nickel/orange UV fishing spoon #20509

Stamped deeply into the nickel-plated surface, the markings identify this Yakima Bait Skiny-miny as the 1/8 oz (4 g) model. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.7 cm), this trolling spoon features a nickel/orange UV finish where a vibrant orange stripe accents one edge of the rectangular profile. This design is engineered to rotate four to five times in one direction before automatically reversing, a technical feature that eliminates the need for a swivel by preventing line twist. Made in the USA, this specimen carries product code 20509 and remains in beautiful shape with a 5/5 rating, showing clean metal and intact hardware. The lure's simple construction relies on two sturdy split rings, one for the head attachment and another securing the sharp treble hook.
