Museum Archive: Vintage Boss Lures Boss Spoon, 2/3oz Tiger / Nickel fishing spoon #4005

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this classic metal casting spoon features a dual-finish design that pairs a vibrant painted face with a reflective metallic back. The "Tiger" pattern on the convex side blends a shimmering teal glitter base with dark, mackerel-style vertical stripes, a hallmark of the Australian-made Boss Lures. Flipping the lure reveals a clean nickel finish, providing a high-flash element when fished at various depths. At a weight of 2/3 oz (19 g), this specimen, cataloged under product code 4005, has the heft required for long casts or steady trolling. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring holding a single treble hook that remains sharp and ready for the water. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the lure shows subtle signs of use while maintaining its finish and structural integrity.
