Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, 1/8oz California Watermelon (CWTM-WH) spinning lure #21259

California Watermelon (CWTM-WH) serves as the eye-catching finish for this 1/8oz (4g) Yakima Bait specimen. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, the 21259 product code represents the classic Spin-N-Glo design, a winged drift bobber engineered to maintain buoyancy and induce rotation in various currents. The pink body is detailed with a lime yellow nose and four black dots highlighted with pale green centers. Attached white wings provide the necessary lift, while the rigging features a small blue bead at the front and a larger orange spacer bead positioned just before the treble hook. Maintaining a solid 4/5 condition, the lure shows only light surface marks on the wings and body, keeping its vibrant aesthetics intact. These lures are a legacy of Worden's, often utilized to float bait into the strike zone of steelhead, salmon, or trout in moving water. The build quality remains consistent with the reputation of US-made tackle, featuring a sturdy wire-through construction and a sharp treble hook.
