Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, 3/16oz nickel/red/white fishing spoon #21031

Nickel-plated surfaces catch the light on this Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, a classic American-made trolling spoon that remains a favorite for multi-species anglers. Sized at 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this lure features a distinctive red stripe painted diagonally across its slender nickel profile. This specific specimen carries the product code 21031 and presents in 5/5 condition, showing a bright and clean reflective surface. Engineered for a specific mechanical movement, the spoon is designed to rotate four to five times in one direction before reversing for the same count, a functional feature intended to prevent line twist during a slow retrieve. The hardware consists of a treble hook at the rear and a split ring at the nose, ready for casting or trolling. Stamped into the metal, the branding confirms its origins as a genuine USA-manufactured piece from Yakima Bait.
