Museum Archive: Vintage Walleye Specialties Walley Wally spin, 3/4oz Nickel spinning lure #17858

Measuring 4" (10 cm) from the wire eye to the curve of the tail, this rig reflects the professional design of Gary Roach, the legendary "Mr. Walleye." Produced by Walleye Specialties in the USA, the Walley Wally spin (Product Code: 17858) features a 3/4 oz (21 g) construction intended for targeted bottom-oriented presentations. A polished nickel blade stamped with the brand's identity sits ahead of a small pink bead and a lead head finished in a pink-and-white color scheme. The single-hook setup is currently rigged with a red, ribbed soft plastic worm. This specific specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, showing minor surface wear on the painted head while the nickel hardware remains bright. A thin wire frame connects the weighted body to the upper attachment point, a hallmark of these specialized Midwest spinning rigs.
