Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Do-Jigger #3, 1/3oz nickel/white UV fishing spoon #20259

A distinct white lightning bolt graphic stretches across the center of this nickel-finished spoon, identifying it as a staple from the Bay de Noc Lure Company. This Do-Jigger #3, identified by product code 20259, weighs 1/3 oz (9 g) and has a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm). Originating from Gladstone, Michigan, the lure's design is heavily influenced by the same team that created the Swedish Pimple in the mid-1950s. The finish is a combination of polished nickel and white UV paint, tailored for flash action when jigging in winter or casting and trolling during the summer months. It comes equipped with a treble hook and a pair of red and yellow plastic attractor tabs attached to the split ring. This specific item is unused, appearing in its original factory packaging with the foam insert and "take me fishing" branding intact. The manufacturer suggests this size #3 is particularly effective for northern pike, big trout, and bass in deeper water environments.
