Museum Archive: Vintage Abu Garcia Koster , 1oz Silver fishing spoon #5249

Embossed scale patterns give the silver-finished face of this Swedish casting spoon a distinct texture designed to reflect light. Measuring 7cm (2 3/4") and weighing a substantial 28g (1 oz), the Abu Garcia Koster (Product Code 5249) is a hallmark of Scandinavian metalwork. The reverse side features a smooth, polished surface with deep, clear stampings that proudly state its weight and its origin in Sweden. This particular specimen is in exceptional condition, rated 5/5, maintaining a bright finish across the entire body. A robust split ring secures the original treble hook to the tail, while the head features a clean attachment point for a snap or swivel. The weight-to-size ratio makes it a specialized tool for distance casting and reaching deeper water columns where smaller lures might struggle.
