Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/4oz Gold / Silver fishing spoon #5356

Constructed with a slender 2" (5 cm) profile, these vertical jigs drop efficiently through the water column to reach deep-dwelling fish. This specific pair, listed under product code 5356, showcases the classic finishes of the Bay de Noc line: one in a reflective gold and the other in a bright silver. Each lure weighs 1/4 oz (7 g), a versatile weight for both open water jigging and through-the-ice applications. The most recognizable element of these American-made lures is the small, bright red plastic flicker blade attached to the split ring alongside the treble hook. This fluorescent tag serves as a focal point for trout, walleye, or perch as the lure is worked vertically. The surfaces are remarkably clean, earning these pieces a condition rating of 5/5. Stamped with the heritage of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the lures feature a simple top eyelet for direct line tie or snap connection. The hardware is comprised of a standard silver-tone treble hook and a sturdy split ring, maintaining the original configuration of this century-old design.
