Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish Pimple, 2oz nickel fishing spoon #19048

Nickel finishes on these vertical jigging classics catch the light effectively even at the significant depths where this 2 oz (56g) Swedish Pimple is designed to operate. Measuring 4 1/4" (10.5cm) in length, this specimen represents the craftsmanship of Bay de Noc, a manufacturer that has been producing these Scandinavian-inspired designs in the USA for over fifty years. Identified by product code 19048, the lure features a sleek, slightly curved profile specifically engineered for vertical jigging techniques through the ice or in open water. The hardware remains in great shape, including the sturdy treble hook and the characteristic red plastic flapper attached to the lower split ring. The surface is bright and well-maintained, resulting in a condition rating of 4/5. Heavy-duty split rings at both the head and tail provide the strength needed for deep-water vertical pressure against large fish. The simple, streamlined body design is a testament to the utility-first approach of vintage American-made tackle.
