Museum Archive: Bay de Noc Do-Jigger, 3/16oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #8779

Nickel and green highlights characterize the finish on this 3/16 oz (5 g) Do-Jigger, a classic design from the Bay de Noc Lure Co. out of Gladstone, Michigan. Identified by product code 8779, this Size 1 lure measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and remains in its original vintage packaging, which is why it receives a condition rating of 6 as an unused piece. The construction consists of a polished metal spoon body rigged with a vibrant yellow teaser blade and a rear treble hook protected by the original foam insert. It is intended for casting or trolling in depths reaching 20 feet (6.1 m), making it a staple for trout, northern pike, and bass. To ensure the best movement, the manufacturer recommends tying the line directly to the front split ring, allowing for a fluttering motion that has been a hallmark of the brand since 1955. This American-made brass lure provides a glimpse into the history of the company that also brought anglers the iconic Swedish Pimple.
