Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden's Spin-n-Glo, 1/8oz spinning lure #23102

Weighing a light 1/8 oz (4 g), the tri-tone finish on this Yakima Bait classic utilizes a striking combination of white, neon pink, and black. This Worden's Spin-n-Glo, identified by product code 23102, represents a staple in Northwest drift fishing history, known for its ability to suspend bait in the strike zone of steelhead and salmon. Two soft black plastic wings are mounted to the buoyant body, which sits between a small orange attractor bead at the nose and a faceted red glass bead at the tail. The entire assembly measures 4" (10 cm) and is rigged on a wire leader with a standard swivel and a sharp treble hook. Looking at the paint and the crispness of the wings, the condition is a solid 5/5. The buoyancy of the foam body is the key technical feature here, allowing the rig to lift off the bottom and avoid snags while the wings generate rotation in the current.
