Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Swedish pimple 3G, 3/16oz Copper fishing spoon #11144

Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (6 g), this size 3G Swedish Pimple showcases the classic solid brass construction that Bay de Noc Lure Co. has perfected in Gladstone, Michigan. Measuring 1 1/2 inches (4 cm), the copper-toned finish on this 11144 model provides a distinct flash intended to attract game fish like walleye and trout in deep or dark waters. This specific specimen is unused, preserved in its original retail packaging, and receives a condition rating of 6. Included in the blister pack are the iconic red and yellow flippers, which act as high-visibility strike points when jigged vertically. The vintage card back details "Pimpling" techniques for ice fishing, suggesting a sharp lifting action of about one foot (0.3 m) followed by a controlled drop to maintain depth. As noted on the packaging, this size is ideally suited for light-weight presentation on spinning tackle or specialized ice rods.
