Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Do-Jigger, 1/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7397

A vibrant red stripe running along the polished nickel face immediately catches the eye on this classic American-made spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), this specimen carries product code 7397 and remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing a clean, reflective surface. Bay de Noc designed this curved metal body to produce a lazy fluttering motion, a characteristic that has made it a staple for trout, bass, and kokanee for decades. While effective for casting in water depths up to 20 feet (6.1 m), the lure is equally at home when trolled behind a swivel or used for vertical jigging through the ice. A small red plastic flipper is attached to the rear split ring near the dark-finished treble hook, providing a fluorescent accent that reacts to UV light. The front split ring is intended for direct line ties to maintain the lure's center of gravity during a steady or interrupted retrieve.
