Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Do-Jigger #3, 1/3oz Nickel/Green fishing spoon #17357

Nickel and green coloration define this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, which is designed to provide visual flash in various lighting conditions. The Bay de Noc Do-Jigger, identified by product code 17357, remains unused in its original vintage packaging, reflecting a well-preserved piece of Gladstone, Michigan history from a company established in 1955. The construction focuses on a flash action for jigging in winter while remaining suitable for spinning, casting, or trolling during the summer. According to the manufacturer's data, the lure is weighted at 1/3 oz (9 g) and produces a lazy fluttering motion to attract species like big trout, northern pike, and bass. For those looking to maximize performance, the instructions suggest tying the line directly to the front split ring to maintain its movement. This specimen includes the secondary red and yellow plastic attractors attached to the hardware, meant to add contrast to the polished metal body. While the smaller #1 size is often favored for depths to 20 ft (6.1 m), this larger #3 model is built for targeting deeper water or larger predatory fish.
