Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/2oz Brass / Red fishing spoon #9902

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vertical jigging spoon features a classic brass finish that has earned its place in many a cold-weather tackle box. The front surface is enhanced with a vibrant red holographic sticker, displaying a distinct checkerboard pattern to maximize light reflection in deep water. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 9902, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and maintains an excellent 5/5 condition rating. Attached to the rear split ring is the signature red plastic flicker blade, a hallmark of the Bay de Noc design used to provide a visual focal point alongside the silver-tone treble hook. On the reverse, the solid brass body is cleanly stamped with the manufacturer's branding. Since the mid-20th century, Michigan-based Bay de Noc has produced these in the USA, and this brass/red variant remains a staple for targeting walleye or perch. The nose of the lure features a precision-drilled line tie hole, maintaining the slender profile that facilitates a quick descent.
