Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple #8, 1oz Gold fishing spoon #13139

Gold plating with a seasoned character defines the look of this heavy-hitting #8 Swedish Pimple. Weighing in at 1 oz (28 g), this lure is a staple for deep-water vertical jigging where reaching the strike zone quickly is essential. Bay de Noc manufactured this 3 1/4" (8 cm) specimen in the USA, utilizing a slender profile that has remained largely unchanged for decades. At the tail, a signature red plastic flicker blade is attached to the split ring, providing a high-visibility contrast against the metallic body and the treble hook. This particular lure shows some light surface marks from careful use over the years, maintaining a respectable 4/5 condition rating. The gold finish is intended for high-flash visibility, catching ambient light to create a glint that draws in species like walleye or lake trout from a distance.
