Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #5213

Polished nickel plating gives this specimen a classic, high-flash look that has made the brand a mainstay in tackle boxes for over half a century. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), this Swedish Pimple—Product Code 5213—is well-weighted for deep vertical jigging or casting. The signature red plastic 'flicker blade' attached to the split ring provides a sharp visual contrast against the silver body, acting as a focused strike point for predators. Produced by Bay de Noc in the USA, this lure carries a heavy-duty treble hook rigged for durability. Looking at the condition, it rates a solid 4/5, retaining a bright, reflective surface with only minor evidence of handling. These lures are particularly renowned for their performance when targeting walleye, trout, or pike in both open and hard water. The slender, curved profile allows it to cut through the water column efficiently, reaching depth where larger fish often reside.
