Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops, 3/5oz Trout fishing spoon #8244

Weighted at 3/5 oz (17 g), this metal jig offers the density needed for precision casting or vertical jigging in deeper water. Bass Pro Shops produced this specific specimen, cataloged as product code 8244, measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length. The Trout color scheme is particularly striking, blending a bright pink flank with a silver chrome base and subtle green highlights along the top edge. Tiny black dots are peppered across the pink section to mimic natural prey markings. A classic silver treble hook is secured to the rear with a robust split ring, ensuring reliable hooksets. This lure arrives in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine reflective surface and no visible hardware oxidation. The narrow, streamlined profile is characteristic of North American jig designs from the late 20th century, optimized for minimizing water resistance during the sink.
