Stamped onto the brass body of this 3/16oz (4.5g) spoon are patent dates reaching back to the 1920s, specifically mentioning October 16, 1923, and February 2, 1926. Measuring 2" (5.0 cm), the Andy Reekers 3 is a quintessential American trolling lure designed for steady movement through the water column. While the original finish is brass, a red stripe has been applied along one half of the blade, a common field modification used by anglers to provide high-contrast visibility. The tail of the spoon is clearly stamped with a size 3 just above the hardware. Equipped with a single hook and a top-mounted swivel, the lure shows visible character from its time in a tackle box, earning a 3/5 condition rating. Its construction reflects the heavy-duty manufacturing typical of mid-century USA fishing gear, intended primarily for trolling techniques in both fresh and saltwater environments.
