Museum Archive: Vintage Harrison Industries Baby Bat, 1/2oz Yellow fishing spoon #11186

A weight of 1/2oz (14g) gives this small metal lure surprising density for its compact 1 1/2" (3.5cm) frame. Produced by Harrison Industries in the USA, the Baby Bat, identified by Product Code 11186, features a unique winged design stamped from metal and finished in a solid, bright yellow. This specific specimen is in excellent shape, rated at a condition of 5/5, with the paint retaining its original luster across the broad wings and central keel. The hardware setup includes a sharp, upward-facing double hook rigged to the rear, a design choice intended for casting into areas where snagging might be a concern. Looking closely at the top ridge, you can see a series of small, intentional indentations that add a bit of technical texture to the stamped body. The vibrant yellow color provides high contrast, making it a standout piece of American-made tackle history.
