Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Do-Jigger, 3/16oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #9491

Nickel and blue finishes merge on this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) spoon, providing a high-contrast flash specifically engineered to be effective at depths reaching 20 feet (6.1 m). Identified by product code 9491, this 3/16oz (5g) Bay de Noc Do-Jigger features a polished metal body accented by a signature red plastic attractor fin attached to the rear split ring. This American-made lure remains in 5/5 condition, appearing completely unused with a clean, reflective surface. The hardware consists of a robust bronzed treble hook and a front split ring, which the manufacturer suggests for direct line tying to ensure a steady, lazy fluttering motion. Designed for versatility, its light weight and slender profile make it suitable for both summer casting for bass and vertical winter jigging for trout. The blue paint is applied as a clean stripe along one edge, leaving the majority of the nickel surface exposed to maximize light reflection in deep water.
