Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Swedish pimple, 1/4oz Copper fishing spoon #9903

Copper-toned and weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this vertical jigging spoon represents decades of Bay de Noc's expertise in specialized lure manufacturing. Its 2-inch (5 cm) slender profile allows the body to sink quickly, a design characteristic originally perfected by Scandinavian anglers for deep-water jigging. A bright red plastic flicker blade is mounted at the tail, providing a sharp color contrast against the warm metallic finish of the body. This specimen carries product code 9903 and maintains a high level of finish across its curved surface, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5. The sturdy treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring, ensuring the hardware matches the longevity of the lure's reputation for trout and walleye. Manufacturing for these specimens takes place in the USA, where Bay de Noc continues to produce this specific silhouette that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
