Weller Strip-On Spinner №44, 1/4oz nickel spinning lure #22405

A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) highlights the balanced construction of this Iowa-made rig, designed specifically for deep-water presentation. Spanning a total length of 7 3/4" (20 cm), the nickel blade on the Weller Strip-On Spinner №44 (Product Code: 22405) provides a bright flash when trolled slowly, as recommended by the original Erwin Weller Co. instructions. The unique mounting system features a wire designed to pass through a minnow, secured by a double hook that keeps the bait aligned. A single red bead sits adjacent to the spinner clevis, providing a subtle point of contrast against the metallic hardware. This specific specimen is unused, still attached to its original retail card which lists the historical price of 45 cents and detailed directions for the 'Strip-On' technique. The assembly begins with a sturdy lead swivel, transitioned into a straight wire shaft that houses the spinning components and hook attachment points.
