Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this size 3 metal spoon showcases the classic craftsmanship of Bay de Noc Lure Co., a manufacturer established in Gladstone, Michigan back in 1955. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body is finished with a polished nickel base and a prominent orange-red side stripe that reacts vividly to UV light, as evidenced by its intense glow in dark conditions. A secondary yellow flipper blade is attached to the front, designed to provide extra flash and visual interest during winter jigging or summer trolling. This 17023 model arrives with its original hardware, including the split ring and a sharp treble hook protected by the vintage foam-backed packaging. The Do-Jigger name is synonymous with multi-season versatility, frequently utilized for deep-water presentations where its fluttering descent mimics distressed baitfish. This particular specimen is unused, preserved in its original retail carding which features the American flag and the "takemefishing" logo. Bay de Noc developed these spoons based on decades of experience in the Great Lakes and Scandinavia, focusing on a design that produces a lazy fluttering motion when the line is tied directly to the front split ring.
