Museum Archive: Vintage Wahoo Class Tackle, 3/4oz Red Golden Fish / Nickel fishing spoon #8986

At 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the Wahoo Class Tackle spoon features a vibrant Red Golden Fish / Nickel finish that is highly sought after by collectors. This 3/4oz (21g) American-made lure, identified by product code 8986, transitions from a deep red upper edge into a golden-scaled midsection, accented by a distinct black-and-white eye near the line tie. The reverse side is finished in a high-polish nickel, providing a stark visual contrast to the patterned face during casting or trolling. Securely rigged with a large treble hook on a split ring, the construction reflects the durability typical of vintage USA-manufactured metal tackle. Evaluated at a 5/5 condition rating, the painted surfaces are well-preserved and the nickel backing retains its original luster.
