Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs KOHO, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #9610

A hammered nickel surface defines the face of this Gibbs KOHO spoon, creating a multi-angled reflection designed for visibility in various water conditions. Weighing exactly 1/2oz (14g), the 2" (5cm) profile is streamlined for the distance casting often necessary when fishing from rocky shorelines or river banks. The reverse side is cleanly stamped with the Gibbs KOHO 35 hallmark, a mark of quality from a manufacturer known for reliable hardware. This specific item, identified by product code 9610, appears in unused condition (5/5), retaining its bright metallic sheen without visible scratches or wear. Hardware includes sturdy split rings and a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. The lure's teardrop geometry is specifically engineered to maintain its orientation during the retrieve, providing a consistent presence in the water column.
