Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Strike Banshee wobbler, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #13522

Stamped into the concave metal surface is the “BANSHEE” mark, a clear identifier of this Canadian-made classic by Lucky Strike. For collectors of northern hardware, the 1/2oz (14g) weight gives this 2" (5cm) lure a satisfying density designed for efficient casting. This specimen, identified by product code 13522, features a bright nickel finish that has survived the years well. Its condition is a respectable 3/5, showing a soft, even wear that provides an authentic vintage character without compromising the structural integrity of the metal. The construction is straightforward and robust, utilizing heavy split rings to secure the original treble hook at the tail and a reliable attachment point at the nose.
