Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Celebrated Weedless, 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23667

Polished to a high-luster nickel finish, this metal spoon features a distinctive curved profile typical of the Atlantic Lures Celebrated Weedless line. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the lure provides significant mass for long-distance casting into thick cover. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the body is equipped with a fixed, centered eyelet at the nose for direct line attachment. A notable feature of this USA-made specimen is the integrated wire guard designed to deflect vegetation away from the hook point, making it a reliable choice for heavy lily pads or brush. The reflective surface of the nickel plating remains in excellent condition, showing very little signs of age. This specific piece, cataloged under product code 23667, holds a condition rating of 5/5, reflecting its well-preserved state. The googly-style eye provides a high-contrast focal point against the metallic body, a hallmark detail of Atlantic Lures' mid-century production.
