Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/4oz Red Metallic fishing spoon #9443

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen features the signature slender profile that has made the Swedish Pimple a staple in vertical jigging for generations. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), its deep Red Metallic finish is designed for high visibility, reflecting light effectively in the water column. This particular item, identified by product code 9443, comes from the legendary Bay de Noc line based out of Gladstone, Michigan—a brand that famously adapted Scandinavian lure traditions for North American anglers. A key detail on this lure is the small red plastic flicker blade attached to the split ring alongside the treble hook. This blade adds a secondary point of interest for predators, acting as a visual focal point during a steady vertical retrieve or lift-and-drop presentation. The lure is in beautiful condition, rated 5/5, showing a vibrant metallic surface and original, clean hardware that retains its factory shine.
