Museum Archive: 1960s Abu Mac-Dan Spoon, Nickel/Red, 3/16 oz (5 g), Twin Leaf, #24578

Stamping on the nickel-plated exterior clearly marks the 'MAC-DAN' name and 'PAT PEND' status on this 1960s era spoon. Measuring 2" (5 cm) with a weight of 3/16 oz (5 g), the model utilizes a double-leaf metal configuration where two plates are joined at the head and tail. This hollow-spaced profile creates a unique hydrodynamic profile compared to single-plate spoons. A vibrant red painted tip provides a classic strike point, showing only light surface wear which results in a 5/5 condition rating. Abu Garcia utilized this dual-plate geometry to influence the flash of the nickel finish during a steady retrieve. Original brass hardware and a rear treble remain mounted to the frame, assigned with code 24578.
