Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Baby Bat, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #9883

Polished nickel covers every surface of this 1/2oz (14g) metal spoon, reflecting light with a brilliance that collectors immediately recognize as a hallmark of the Prescott Spinner company. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, the Baby Bat, listed under product code 9883, is a fascinating piece of vintage tackle made in the USA. Its distinct silhouette mimics a bat in flight, featuring wings stamped from a durable metal plate that retains a mirror-like finish. At the front of the lure, a vertical keel provides multiple attachment holes for the line, allowing for fine-tuned depth control depending on where you clip your snap. The rear is equipped with a robust double hook that is securely fastened to the main body. This specific specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, appearing exceptionally clean with sharp hook points and a lustrous surface. Designed for casting or vertical jigging, the weight-to-size ratio of this metal lure ensures it reaches deeper structure efficiently.
