Museum Archive: Vintage Worth #301 Spinner, Red Black Gold, Feathered Treble, #24436

A vibrant orange-red cigar-shaped body anchors this classic inline spinner, reflecting the manufacturing excellence of the Stevens Point, Wisconsin-based Worth Company. Because Worth is legendary for supplying high-end components like split rings and swivels to the entire tackle industry, a finished lure like this #301, identified by Product Code 24436, showcases their precision hardware in a complete package. The teardrop-shaped blade features a striking black face with gold scalloped stripes, while the reverse reveals a hammered gold texture. This specimen, rated at 5/5 condition, includes a treble hook dressed with orange and yellow feathers held by a clean red thread wrap. The assembly uses small brass beads and a specialized clevis to facilitate smooth rotation during a steady retrieve in freshwater environments for trout or bass. It is a solid example of mid-century American craftsmanship from the heart of the Midwest.
