Museum Archive: Vintage Aeroplane Spinner Aero, 1/3oz Hammered Brass fishing spoon #3176

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), the Aero spoon by Aeroplane Spinner showcases a classic American design built for distance casting. The lure features a distinct hammered brass finish on its convex face, designed to catch and scatter light across the water column. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its original high-gloss shine. Flipping the lure over reveals a smooth, polished brass interior clearly stamped with the brand's Aero name and weight. This specific piece, identified by product code 3176, comes equipped with a sturdy split ring and a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. Historically, these USA-made spoons from Aeroplane Spinner were favorites for anglers targeting trout and bass. The simple teardrop profile is aerodynamically efficient, allowing for precise placement during casting. A small attachment hole at the head provides a secure point for your line or a snap swivel.
