Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/2oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #5686

Polished nickel plating on one side contrasts sharply with the vibrant red prismatic tape on the other, creating a high-flash visual for deep-water vertical jigging. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries a weight of 1/2oz (14g), providing the density needed to reach target depths quickly. Bay de Noc, an American manufacturer with over 50 years of history, adapted this design from traditional Scandinavian lures specifically for effective bottom-oriented presentations. The lure features a signature fluorescent red flicker blade at the base, serving as a secondary visual target near the treble hook. Under product code 5686, this specific item is in unused condition (5/5), showing no tarnishing on its metal surfaces or lifting of the holographic red insert. Its construction includes a heavy-duty split ring and a standard treble hook suited for freshwater game fish. The slender profile and balanced distribution make it a staple for anglers targeting walleye or perch through the ice or from a drifting boat.
