Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Do-Jigger, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #9564

A gleaming Nickel finish covers this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon, reflecting light to mimic the flash of small forage. This specific 3/16oz (5 g) model from Bay de Noc, identified by product code 9564, represents a half-century of lure design that bridges the gap between Scandinavian influence and American utility. The polished metal body features a slender, elongated profile and comes equipped with a small red attractor tab attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook. Rated in 5/5 condition, the hardware remains bright and the finish shows the quality expected from a curated collection. While effective for casting toward bass and trout, this size is particularly well-suited for water depths down to 20 feet (6.1 m). Tying the line directly to the front split ring ensures the lure maintains its intended lazy fluttering motion during the retrieve or vertical jig.
