Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this Moriyama spoon showcases the craftsmanship often found in mid-century Japanese fishing tackle. The polished Nickel / Red finish is striking, featuring a wide diagonal red-orange band that frames a unique, crinkled silver insert designed to reflect light. On the front, a prominent yellow and black eye provides a focal point near the line tie. This piece, identified by product code 8278, weighs 3/5oz (16g), giving it a substantial feel suited for casting or trolling. Flipping the lure over reveals the "Moriyama Japan" maker's mark stamped into the concave nickel surface. The hardware, including the treble hook and split rings, is in superb condition, earning a rating of 5/5 for its preserved quality.
