Museum Archive: Vintage Lake Products Charger №4, 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23218

Polished nickel plating provides a mirror-like finish across the 4 1/4" (11 cm) frame of this Lake Products spoon. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the Charger №4 is a substantial piece of vintage American tackle with a distinctive architectural build. A deep central groove runs along the length of the body, containing eight small circular holes designed to allow water passage through the metal. The name "CHARGER" and size "№4" are crisply stamped into the metal near the tail hook attachment point. This particular specimen, cataloged as product code 23218, showcases the high manufacturing standards of its USA origin and is preserved in 5/5 condition. The hardware consists of a classic treble hook connected via a robust split ring, accompanied by a matching split ring at the head for easy line connection.
