Museum Archive: Vintage Worth 4, 1/8oz Brass spinning lure #6285

Stamped clearly into the brass-colored blade is the "WORTH 4" marking, identifying this classic American-made spinner. Worth, a company synonymous with quality fishing components, produced this model 6285 with a teardrop blade that rotates on a sturdy wire shaft. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length and weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), the lure features a body constructed from a distinctive coiled metal spring and a pair of small spacer beads. The brass finish on the blade provides a bright, reflective surface that contrasts with the hand-tied dressing on the trailing single hook. This dressing consists of blue, white, and pinkish-red tinsel strands secured by black thread. In its current state, the lure maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with the wire and hook remaining straight and the hardware showing significant luster.
