Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Skiny-miny UV, 1/8oz nickel/orange UV fishing spoon #20483

Polished nickel on the reverse provides a high-flash contrast to the bright orange UV front of this Yakima Bait Skiny-miny UV. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.7cm), this trolling spoon carries product code 20483 and represents functional American tackle design. The clever engineering allows the lure to rotate 4-5 times in one direction before reversing for the same number of turns, a specific design choice that effectively prevents line twist during slow retrieves. This specimen earns a 4/5 condition rating, as the stamped identification 'SKINY MINY 1/8 .07' on the colored face remains crisp and legible. The hardware includes sturdy split rings at both ends and a bronze-finished treble hook.
