Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Chippewa, 3/4oz fishing spoon #4114

Fluorescent green paint gives this Chippewa an immediate visual punch, especially under UV light where its glow properties are most effective. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this 4114 model spoon was a staple for American anglers looking for a reliable classic in the latter half of the 20th century. A sturdy treble hook is attached via a strong split ring to the teardrop-shaped body, which features a series of prominent black spots providing high contrast against the neon base. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean, stamped 'MADE IN USA' mark directly into the silver-toned metal, a hallmark of mid-century Worth manufacturing. Rated at 5/5, the finish remains exceptionally vibrant and the structural integrity is excellent. Heavy enough for long casts or deep-water trolling, the 21 g (3/4 oz) body is designed to reach the target depth efficiently.
