Museum Archive: Vintage Danielson Spoon Bed Lure Jig Lure, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #14082

Hammered nickel plating catches the light across the dimpled surface of this Danielson Spoon Bed Lure, a classic piece of American tackle history. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this jigging lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length and features a distinct teardrop profile. Produced under product code 14082, the metal body reflects the manufacturing standards Danielson has maintained since they began operations in 1943. The treble hook is dressed with a combination of white fibers and reflective silver tinsel, all secured with a clean red thread wrap. Rated at 5/5, the specimen shows a bright finish on both the hammered front and the smooth reverse side. This heavy, compact design is intended for vertical jigging or deep-water casting applications where reaching the bottom quickly is essential. Original split rings are intact at both ends, ensuring the hardware is ready for use or display.
