Museum Archive: Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon Squid, 1 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #2347

At a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35g), this specialized casting tool is defined by its elongated, angular profile. Measuring exactly 5" (12.5cm), the Clark Spoon Squid is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship from James E. Clark, manufactured in the USA. Its polished Nickel finish provides a high-contrast flash, a functional choice for a lure featuring a weedless hook configuration. This particular specimen, identified by product code 2347, utilizes a single hook tucked neatly against the spoon's inner body, held securely by a central screw. The hardware, including the nose line tie loop, reflects the heavy-duty construction standards required for saltwater environments. The condition of this lure is a well-maintained 4/5, showing only light evidence of previous handling while the reflective surfaces remain bright. This design is specifically built for fishing through dense cover where standard hooks might snag.
