Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, 1/4oz spinning lure #21714

Bright pink and metallic purple finishes distinguish this particular Yakima Bait Spin-N-Glo, a design that has remained a staple in drift fishing for decades. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g) and measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length, this specimen features the classic winged body designed to provide buoyancy, lifting the presentation into the strike zone of salmon, steelhead, or walleye. The soft white plastic wings are paired with a set of orange attractor beads and a sharp treble hook, all rigged on a sturdy wire frame leading to a barrel swivel. This US-made 21714 model shows a vibrant, high-gloss finish, reflecting its condition as a well-preserved piece of tackle. Rated at 5/5, the lure is unused, with the metallic purple surface and pink accent stripes remaining crisp. Anglers often rely on the Spin-N-Glo's ability to rotate in the slightest current, a mechanical feature that adds both visual flash and a subtle lift to the rig. The hardware, from the treble hook to the integrated swivel, remains bright and functional.
