Museum Archive: Vintage Gator, 1/3oz gold fishing spoon #22256

Stamped with the GATOR name on its concave side, this 1/3 oz (9 g) gold spoon represents a classic design from a company founded in 1976. The vibrant gold finish reflects the brand's tradition of using premium materials, often 24k gold plating over a durable steel base. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the teardrop shape is a versatile choice for anglers utilizing casting, trolling, or even vertical jigging techniques. A notable feature is the red plastic attractor tab attached to the split ring, providing a distinct visual contrast near the treble hook. This specimen, identified by product code 22256, is in clean 5/5 condition and retains its original reflective luster. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's build quality is evident in the hardware and the precise stamping of the metal.
