Finessing the Spin-N-Glo - A Classic Salmon & Steelhead Lure
Manage episode 295260869 series 2611165
When the Worden Floating Lure Company, now owned by Yakima Bait Company, invented the Spin-N-Glo, little did they know that the lure would become one of the company’s bestselling, let alone top-producing lure.
I always have said that if a person had never heard of a Spin-N-Glo, they need to go out and get an education all over again.
The winged bobber has steelhead magic written all over it as defined by its name.
It had gone through several name changes before the final moniker was chosen.
“The man who actually named this lure the “Spin-N-Glo” was a guy named Leo Ryan,” said Howard Worden in one of his many stories that he told me. Howard marketed and developed the Spin-N-Glo after his father invented it. “We were all trying to give the lure a different name, and Leo just said, ‘Well, it spins and it glows.’ So after that we decided to name the lure the Spin-N-Glo.”
It makes perfect sense, really. A perfect-sense name for a perfectly-spinning steelhead spinner—that just happens to float!
“A Spin-N-Glo really is a buoyant spinner,” says Buzz Ramsey, (former) brand manager of the Yakima Bait Co. “It allows guys, especially plunkers, who are ‘still fishing’ to cast out, and that Spin-N-Glo floats up right off the bottom where the fish are migrating upstream.”
