Stamped with the iconic PHOEBE name on its reverse side, this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) spoon features a distinct fish-silhouette profile that has been a mainstay in American tackle boxes for decades. The warm copper finish is enhanced by an embossed scale pattern across the body, designed to provide a three-dimensional illusion when moving through the water column. Weighing 3/16oz (5g), the lure's specific hydrodynamic shape allows it to be used effectively in both shallow and deep water scenarios. This USA-made specimen, identified by product code 19866, is equipped with a clean treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the tail. Given its well-preserved surfaces and hardware, this piece maintains a condition rating of 5/5. The curved metal body is engineered to hold its depth regardless of whether a slow or fast retrieve is employed by the angler.
