Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, 3/16oz spinning lure #20834

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length, this specimen features a striking metallic blue body paired with a high-visibility fluorescent orange base. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, listed under Product Code 20834, is a classic example of the original winged drift bobber design produced in the USA. The stiff, light-reflective mylar wings show a distinct holographic scale pattern, engineered to provide buoyancy and lift when positioned in current. Its hardware configuration includes a faceted deep blue bead at the front and a smooth orange bead just before the treble hook. These buoyant rigs are traditionally used to float bait off the bottom for species like salmon, steelhead, and walleye. This particular lure is in 5/5 condition, with no signs of wear on the finish or wings. A barrel swivel is securely wired to the front, facilitating easy integration into a variety of drift fishing setups.
