Museum Archive: Vintage Cabela's Diamond Spoon, 3/4oz Nickel #8713

Nickel plating provides the foundational flash for this heavy-bodied metal casting tool, which tips the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g). The teardrop profile of the Cabela's Diamond Spoon features an embossed grid pattern on one side, while the opposite face displays a subtle hammered texture. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the lure carries the product code 8713 and was manufactured in the USA. A sharp treble hook is secured by a split ring at the tail, while the nose is equipped with a functional barrel swivel to manage line torque during retrieval. The overall condition of this specific specimen is 5/5, showing a clean, high-luster finish across the entire metal surface. The thickness of the spoon indicates a high-density build suitable for punching through wind or reaching bottom structure in fast-moving current.
