Museum Archive: Vintage Abu Garcia Abu Toby, 2/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0961

Weighing exactly 2/3oz (18g), this Swedish-made spoon features a distinctive Nickel / Blue finish that collectors will recognize immediately. The 3 1/2" (9cm) body of this Abu Toby, identified by product code 0961, displays a deep blue hue along its outer edges, framing a textured silver center that mimics the scales of a baitfish. A single black and white eye is positioned near the head, while the underside remains a clean, polished nickel, stamped with the Abu Garcia hallmark and its origin in Sweden. This specific specimen includes the signature small fins near the tail and is equipped with a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring. Overall, the lure is in 4/5 condition, showing very light signs of its age while retaining a vibrant finish.
