Museum Archive: Vintage Bass Pro Shops Strata Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #1400

Hammered nickel plating covers the teardrop-shaped body of this 1/4oz (7g) metal bait, catching light from multiple angles through its dimpled surface. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the construction features heavy-duty split rings at both the head and the tail for secure connections. This Bass Pro Shops Strata Spoon, identified by product code 1400, represents a classic USA-made design intended for vertical jigging or long-distance casting into schools of baitfish. The reflective finish mimics natural scales while the dense metal body ensures it reaches depth quickly. This specific specimen remains in 5/5 condition, retaining its full original luster and sharp treble hook. The weight distribution is centered to facilitate a controlled descent through the water column.
