Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Evans, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3048

Red and white stripes running the length of the body define the face of this Glen Evans spoon, creating a high-contrast pattern easily spotted in the water. This particular specimen, identified by product code 3048, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and weighs 3/4oz (21g), offering the density required for long-distance casting or reaching specific depths while trolling. Turning the lure over reveals the distinctive "GLEN EVANS USA" stamp pressed into the polished nickel reverse. The hardware is comprised of a single treble hook attached by a robust split ring, typical of the heavy-duty American craftsmanship found in mid-century tackle. In a condition rated at 4/5, the lure exhibits minor surface wear while the paint and nickel plating remain bright and reflective. The teardrop shape is a classic design choice from the Glen Evans company, intended for versatile use across various freshwater environments.
