Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Do-Jigger #3, 1/3oz gold fishing spoon #22167

Gold plating accented by a sharp green lightning bolt defines the visual profile of this specimen, which measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm). Bay de Noc Lure Co., based in Gladstone, Michigan since 1955, designed the Do-Jigger #3 to serve as a versatile flash action jig for winter ice fishing or summer casting and trolling. At a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure includes characteristic red and yellow plastic flippers near the hook eye. This specific item, product code 22167, is in unused 5/5 condition and remains secured in its original retail packaging. The back of the card provides detailed instructions for "limit catches," recommending a sharp jigging action of about one foot (0.3 m) for Walleye and Northern Pike. It is a brass-based lure, noted by the manufacturer as being especially effective in the dead of winter when fish are sluggish.
