Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs KOHO, 1/2oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #2813

Coated in a vibrant Chartreuse finish, this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon stands out among American-made metal lures. Measuring 2" (5 cm), the Gibbs KOHO features a distinctive dimpled texture across the body, designed to maximize surface area and reflection. On the reverse side, the 'GIBBS KO-HO' brand stamp is clearly impressed into the metal, confirming its authentic USA heritage. This specimen, assigned product code 2813, maintains a clean 4/5 condition rating with the bright paint showing very minimal wear. The construction includes a robust treble hook attached via a split ring, making it a reliable choice for long-distance casting or trolling. The teardrop shape and weight distribution are engineered for stability and distance when targeting salmon or trout.
