Museum Archive: Vintage Northland Forage Minnow, 3/4oz Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #1607

A distinct Rainbow Trout scale pattern covers the reflective surface of this 3 1/2" (9cm) metal spoon. Weighing 3/4oz (21g), the Northland Forage Minnow is engineered for a substantial profile during casting or vertical jigging. This particular specimen, designated by product code 1607, showcases the manufacturer's American heritage with a stamped name clearly visible across the holographic scale texture. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook joined by a reliable split ring, both appearing in 5/5 condition. A small, printed eye near the top of the lure provides a realistic focal point, while the reverse side features a polished, concave silver finish that serves to throw flashes of light throughout the water column. The overall construction is solid, designed for targeting predatory species that feed on deep-bodied forage.
