Museum Archive: Vintage Kalakokko Oy Bete Lotto, 1/3oz сopper spinning lure #18088

Hand-painted scales decorate the molded body of this Finnish spinner, which weighs in at a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g). A 2 3/4" (7 cm) length makes it a substantial target for rainbow trout or perch. This specimen carries the Kalakokko Oy branding, placing its heritage around 1980 when the Lotto design was gaining international recognition. The asymmetric body is weighted to remain stable in the water column, preventing the line twist often associated with standard inline spinners. Stamped with the Bete logo on its copper blade, the lure bears product code 18088. This example is presented in its original blue-bordered blister pack and rates a 5/5 in condition, with the paint and hardware showing no signs of age. The density of the weighted body allows it to sink quickly, maintaining its position even in heavy river currents.
