Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/16oz White fishing spoon #9833

Small but dense for its size, this 1/16 oz (2 g) vertical jigging spoon represents the craftsmanship of Bay de Noc, a manufacturer with decades of history producing reliable gear in the USA. Measuring exactly 1" (2.5 cm) in length, this specimen features a smooth white finish that provides a distinct visual signature in the water column. The lure, identified by product code 9833, is in superb condition with a rating of 5/5, exhibiting well-preserved surfaces and sturdy original hardware. A defining feature is the translucent red plastic flicker blade attached at the tail split ring, which functions as a high-visibility strike point near the treble hook. When worked, the blade creates technical flutter, a design intended to draw the attention of species like walleye or perch. The nose eyelet is cleanly drilled for secure attachment, and the overall construction reflects the Scandinavian-inspired design principles that have made the Swedish Pimple a foundational tool for targeting panfish and trout.
