Museum Archive: Vintage Unknown Flash Fish, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #3253

Stamping on the reverse side clearly identifies this piece as a "FLASH FISH," a classic American-made spoon designed with a realistic baitfish profile. This gold-colored metal lure features detailed scale embossing and defined gill plates across its front surface to catch light from multiple angles. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), it serves as a lightweight option for casting or jigging techniques. A single line attachment point is drilled through the head, while the tail is equipped with a metal split ring and a dark-toned treble hook. Cataloged under product code 3253, the specimen is in excellent shape, rated 5/5, with the reflective gold surface and metal hardware showing very little wear.
