Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Wormfish, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #22482

Stamped clearly into the metal, the "WORMFISH" name identifies this 1/4oz (7g) casting spoon from Atlantic Lures, Inc. This 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lure showcases a high-polish nickel finish that remains bright across the entire body, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Manufactured in the USA, the construction features a simple teardrop shape with a single line-tie hole at the narrow nose. The hardware consists of a classic treble hook attached via a split ring at the rear. Identified by product code 22482, the reverse side of the specimen is used to display the manufacturer's name and the specific weight stamp in a clean, sans-serif font. This piece reflects the mid-century American preference for durable, stamped metal hardware designed for versatile casting applications.
