Museum Archive: Vintage Lake Products Charger, 3/16oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #11292

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this Lake Products Charger is a classic example of mid-century American trolling hardware. The Nickel / Blue finish is remarkably preserved, featuring a distinctive V-shaped pattern created by the contrast between the vibrant blue paint and the bright nickel plating underneath. A series of small perforations runs along the body, a functional design element often utilized by Lake Products to influence the lure's path through the water column. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the spoon is equipped with a robust, large-gap treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, ready for service or display. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 11292, maintains a condition rating of 5/5, showing the original factory luster on its metal surfaces. The manufacturing origins of the brand are reflected in the solid construction and clean lines typical of vintage USA-produced gear.
