Museum Archive: Vintage Andy Reekers #4, 1/4oz gold/nickel fishing spoon #23794

Split visually between a bright nickel and a warm gold finish, this #4 model from Andy Reekers offers the classic bi-metal look favored by salmon and trout anglers. At a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm) and a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g), the spoon is a versatile size for various freshwater and coastal trolling depths. The USA-made lure features a clearly stamped hallmark on its polished surface, identifying its manufacture and lineage. Designated by product code 23794, this specific specimen comes rigged with a large, high-gauge single hook attached via a robust split ring, while the head is fitted with a barrel swivel to manage line twist. Both the gold and nickel plating are exceptionally well-preserved, showing a bright reflective quality that earns this piece a condition rating of 5/5.
