Museum Archive: Vintage Walleye Specialties Wally spin, 3/4oz Nickel / Pink spinning lure #10871

Nickel plating on the blade carries the prominent "Wally Spin" and "Walleye Specialties" stamps, a design legacy of the legendary Gary Roach. Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring a total of 4" (10 cm), this spinnerbait embodies the specialized walleye tackle produced in the USA. The color pattern consists of a bright Nickel blade paired with a Pink and cream-colored lead body. This piece, identified by product code 10871, features a faceted pink bead and a long-shank hook assembly typical of the period. While the overall presentation is clean and earns a 4/5 condition rating, it should be noted that the small inset eye is missing from one side of the lead head. The wire leader and snap attachment remain intact, reflecting the lure's design for deep-water trolling or casting setups.
