Vintage Crippled Alewive Lure 9/0, 2 1/2oz fishing spoon #23148

Weighty at 2 1/2 oz (72g), the heavy-gauge metal construction of this spoon is finished with a brilliant, reflective chrome plating. Originating from the USA, the Crippled Alewive Lure 9/0 (product code 23148) incorporates a robust single hook dressed with bright yellow feathers and a red thread collar. A distinctive wire guard is pinned to the face of the metal body, a technical detail intended to stabilize the lure during casting or trolling. The surfaces are exceptionally clean, with the polished metal showing no signs of aging or contact marks. This specimen is unused. Hardware components, including the heavy-duty split ring and the large-profile hook, remain in excellent condition.
