Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, 3/16oz Clown (CL-MY) Mylar spinning lure #20836

Clown (CL-MY) coloration, featuring bright orange spots over a fluorescent yellow body, marks this Yakima Bait classic. Originally developed as a winged drift bobber by Worden’s, this specimen features the stiffer, light-reflective mylar wings known for their silvered scale pattern. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length and weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), it remains a staple for anglers targeting steelhead and salmon in current. The hardware includes a clean treble hook and a sequence of attractor beads—a larger orange bead near the tail and a smaller iridescent blue-green bead at the nose. A sturdy barrel swivel is attached to the leading edge of the wire, ensuring it is ready to be rigged for drifting. This specific unit, identified by product code 20836, maintains its integrity beautifully, appearing well-preserved with sharp colors and intact wings, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Its buoyant design is intended to lift bait off the bottom, keeping the presentation in the strike zone of trout or walleye.
