Six faceted red glass jewels are precisely inset along the spine of this heavy-gauge nickel spoon, catching light at multiple angles to mimic the flash of baitfish. Weighing in at a substantial 1 oz (28 g), the AL&W Toronto Jeweled Watertek measures 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) in length, making it a formidable choice for casting or trolling in deeper waters. Manufactured by Canada's own AL&W Tackle, this model 4002 features a classic Nickel / Red color scheme, with the underside showing a vibrant red accent along the edges to contrast the polished silver finish. The hardware remains robust, including a matching red treble hook that complements the overall aesthetic, and the spoon maintains its 4/5 condition with clear, readable stampings on the reverse side. These stampings include the 'CAN PAT REG 1931' designation, a hallmark of these early Canadian designs that combined visual flash with heavy-duty construction. Small split rings at the head and tail secure the components, ensuring the assembly is ready for display or the rigors of targeting larger predatory fish.
