Museum Archive: Vintage Canadian Bait, 2/3oz Gold fishing spoon #0797

A warm gold finish covers the 2/3 oz (18 g) circular body of this vintage specimen. Produced by Canadian Bait in the USA between 1960 and 1970, this 2" (5 cm) disk represents a minimalist era of lure design. The heavy metal plate is center-drilled with an additional mounting hole near the perimeter, providing versatility for various rigging methods. It features a large, single offset hook attached via a standard split ring, built for durability during deep-water presentations. Under product code 0797, this lure shows signs of its age with a condition rating of 3/5, exhibiting some surface spotting and wear along the edges of the metal. The brass-toned surface retains a solid luster, making it a distinctive addition for any collector focused on mid-century American tackle.
