Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Chippewa, 2/3oz Green / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #4230

Bold black polka dots contrast sharply against a vibrant green painted surface on this 3 1/2" (9 cm) metal lure. Produced in the USA by Worth, the Chippewa model was a staple in American tackle boxes during the late 20th century, valued for providing solid performance as a budget-friendly casting spoon. This particular specimen, bearing product code 4230, features a polished nickel reverse side that provides a distinct flash against the painted front. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (19 g), the lure is equipped with a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. The condition is rated at a 4/5, showing a very clean surface that retains the original saturation of the green pigment. A small attachment hole is punched at the narrow lead end, designed for direct line tie or a snap swivel connection.
