Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #8730

A classic Nickel finish coats this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) jigging spoon, providing the high-flash visibility required for deep-water presentations. Bay de Noc has been crafting these in Michigan for decades, and this specific 3/16 oz (4.5 g) specimen, identified by product code 8730, shows off the solid construction synonymous with the brand. Note the vibrant red plastic flicker blade attached near the treble hook; it acts as a visual focus point for fish in darker water. The hardware, including the split rings and treble hook, remains in clean, well-preserved shape, meriting a condition rating of 5/5. Designed primarily for vertical jigging, the lure's teardrop profile allows it to reach the target depth quickly in both open water and through the ice. A single, clean line attachment hole is located at the narrowest point of the spoon for direct rigging.
