Vintage Chruscz Spoonfish, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23319

Nine distinct perforations drilled into the center of the body distinguish this vintage Chruscz Spoonfish, a piece of 1950s American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), the lure features a polished nickel finish stamped with the manufacturer's name and model near the top eyelet. The hardware is well-maintained, including the original bronze-toned treble hook and robust split rings. This specimen, identified by product code 23319, showcases the clean lines and utilitarian design typical of early post-war lures. Light reflects effectively off the smooth metallic surface while the internal holes create a specific visual profile during the retrieve. The stamped lettering remains sharp and legible against the bright metal, which helps define its condition rating of 5/5.
