Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny, 1/8oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #21755

Measuring exactly 1 3/4 inches (4.7 cm) in length, this nickel-plated trolling spoon from Yakima Bait is a classic design for slow-retrieve fishing. The Skiny-miny, identified by product code 21755, features a polished nickel finish on the convex side with a high-visibility orange coating on the reverse. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure's construction is tailored for a specific mechanical movement where it rotates for four to five turns in one direction before reversing course. This intentional cycling prevents line twist during long trolling sessions without the need for heavy swivels. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing the clean craftsmanship expected from a lure made in the USA. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, ensuring reliable sets on various freshwater species.
