Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #12966

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this 1oz (28g) specimen have been a staple for deep-water jigging for generations. This specific Bay de Noc Swedish Pimple, measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), carries the classic dimpled texture that reflects light in multiple directions, mimicking the scale pattern of forage fish. Near the treble hook, you'll find the signature red plastic flicker blade, which serves as a visual trigger during vertical presentations or casting. This lure, identified by Product Code 12966, represents the larger end of the Pimple family, making it a solid choice for targeting walleye or lake trout. The hardware remains bright, and the overall condition is a solid 5/5. The American-made construction reflects the brand's long history in Gladstone, Michigan, where these lures have been produced for decades. A simple split ring at the nose provides the attachment point for a snap or direct line tie.
