Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops Jig Lure, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #14912

Hammered nickel plating gives this 1/4 oz (7 g) jigging lure a classic, light-catching texture that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this USA-made Bass Pro Shops specimen, identified by Product Code 14912, is designed for vertical jigging applications. The dimpled surface is flanked by smooth, rounded ends, creating a distinct visual contrast that maximizes flash when worked through the water column. For a vintage piece, it remains in superb shape with a 5/5 condition rating, showing no signs of use or wear on its reflective surfaces. The hardware includes a robust split ring connecting a sharp treble hook, while the top eyelet is cleanly drilled for a snap or line tie. This specific model lacks a manufacturer's stamp on the body, a common characteristic for certain production runs of these utility spoons from the Bass Pro line.
