Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, 3/64oz spinning lure #16204

Stamped into the white wings of this 2" (5 cm) specimen are the original "SPIN-N-GLO" and "B USA" identifiers, marking its Yakima Bait heritage. This 3/64 oz (1.2 g) lure features a high-visibility orange body topped with a vibrant neon yellow head, a color scheme designed to stand out in a variety of water conditions. A single red plastic bead is positioned just above the treble hook, functioning as a bearing to facilitate the rotation of the wings. Made in the USA, this particular Spin-N-Glo carries Product Code 16204 and is preserved in 5/5 condition with no signs of wear on the painted surfaces or the hardware. Yakima Bait engineered these floating drift bobbers specifically to keep bait or hooks suspended off the bottom during a drift, preventing snags in the rocky runs where salmon and steelhead often hold. The lightweight 3/64 oz (1.2 g) body provides the necessary buoyancy for this technique.
