Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Swedish Pimple 3, 3/16oz copper fishing spoon #20192

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the copper finish on this size 3 lure features a distinct hammered scale texture that catches light effectively at various depths. Produced by the Bay de Noc Lure Co. in Gladstone, Michigan, this Swedish Pimple (Product Code: 20192) has remained a staple in the fishing world since the company’s establishment in 1955. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the metal body is currently rigged with a bright yellow plastic flipper, though the original packaging also provides a bonus red flipper and a single hook for different rigging configurations. This specimen is unused and remains in excellent condition within its original retail blister pack. While it is a legendary choice for vertical jigging through the ice for species like perch and walleye, the manufacturer notes its utility for drifting, casting, and trolling in open water.
