Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Swedish pimple 3, 3/16oz Copper fishing spoon #11112

Sized at 1 1/2" (4 cm), this size 3 specimen showcases the classic copper finish that has been a staple in tackle boxes since Bay de Noc Lure Co. was established in 1955. Manufactured in Gladstone, Michigan, from American-made brass, the product code 11112 packaging confirms the inclusion of a bonus single hook, split ring, and flipper. The lure features a 1/5 oz (5.7 g) weight as indicated on the card—equivalent to the 3/16 oz (5.3 g) catalog specification—and is equipped with a high-visibility fluorescent red flicker blade. This specimen is unused, still housed in its original retail card featuring the 'take me fishing' slogan and the American flag. Technical notes on the reverse suggest applications for drifting, casting, and trolling for species such as Walleye, Trout, and Perch.
