Sourced from Japanese craftsmanship, the shimmering natural abalone shell inlay on this 5cm (2") spoon catches the light with organic iridescent hues and a distinctive orange-toned accent near the base. Identified by product code 20422, this Compac Abalone Spoon features a stamped "JAPAN" mark on its clean, polished reverse side. The construction is solid for its 4g (1/8oz) weight, making it a classic choice for light-tackle casting or trolling in clear water. A sharp treble hook is secured to the tail by a sturdy split ring, while the head features a clean line-tie hole. Rated at a solid 4/5, the specimen shows how well these mid-century Japanese exports were manufactured, with the shell piece precisely fitted into the metal frame. Natural textures provided by the abalone give it a depth of color that artificial paints rarely achieve.
