Museum Archive: Vintage Big Fish Tackle Bait-Cradle, 1/2oz fishing spoon #22757

Glitter-infused red soft plastic with trailing tentacles is nestled within a polished brass-tone metal body, a signature construction of the Big Fish Tackle Bait-Cradle. Identified by product code 22757, this specimen weighs in at a solid 1/2oz (14g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in length. The gold-colored single hook is protected by a fine wire weed guard, making it well-suited for targeting bass in heavy cover or vegetation. The metallic shell features stamped fan-shaped ridges on its side, providing a subtle texture against the translucent red of the trailer. This particular lure is unused, with the hardware and soft plastic showing no signs of age or wear.
