Museum Archive: Vintage Gator, 1 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #7021

A polished Nickel finish defines the exterior of this Gator casting spoon, which measures 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) from tip to tail. Identified by product code 7021, the lure is stamped with the "GATOR" name directly into the metal body. These lures have been a staple for anglers since the Gator company was founded in the USA back in 1976, specifically choosing 304 stainless steel for its longevity and resistance to the elements. The 1 1/4 oz (35g) weight makes it a versatile choice for reaching deeper water columns through trolling or long-range casting. At the rear, a robust split ring secures a sharp treble hook, while the nose features a simple, precisely drilled eyelet for line attachment. This specimen shows a very clean surface and is rated at a condition of 5/5.
