Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/2oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #1729

Adorned with a distinctive blue hexagonal scale decal, the nickel-plated body of this vertical jig stands out as a true tackle box staple. This specimen of the Bay de Noc Swedish Pimple, product code 1729, features a slender 2 1/4" (5.5cm) profile designed for minimal resistance during vertical presentations. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), it provides the necessary heft for reaching deeper structures where walleye and perch often hold. The red plastic flicker blade attached to the split ring serves as a high-visibility accent, providing a focal point near the sharp treble hook. Hailing from the USA, this lure represents over a century of proven effectiveness in both open water and through the ice. The finish on this specific item is in 5/5 condition, with the high-flash nickel surface and the blue prism tape showing no signs of wear. Its construction relies on a centuries-old Scandinavian design perfected by the Michigan-based manufacturer.
