Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple #8, 1oz Gold fishing spoon #17222

Gold plating catches the light across the sleek, curved body of this Swedish Pimple #8, a classic American-made tool from Bay de Noc. Weighing 1oz (28g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.3cm), this specimen demonstrates the heavy-gauge metal construction that allows for deep vertical jigging. The hardware features a robust split ring and a treble hook, paired with a small red plastic flicker blade that provides a visual focus point during the flutter. Manufactured in Michigan, the design reflects traditional Scandinavian lure-making and is intended for targeting deep-water species like walleye or trout. This particular piece, identified by product code 17222, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright metallic shine across its surface.
