Museum Archive: Vintage Al's gold fish Goldfish Helgy, 3/16oz Black / Red Eyes / Gold fishing spoon #8622

Red eyes pop against the deep black body of this 3/16oz (4.5g) specimen from Al's Goldfish. Designated with product code 8622, the Helgy is a distinct USA-made lure that captures the segmented silhouette of a Hellgrammite larva. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, it is a compact tool featuring a sturdy treble hook linked by a brass-tone split ring. The finish remains remarkably intact, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its clean surfaces and well-preserved painted details. A subtle gold undertone is visible where the light catches the ridges of the metal body, reflecting the quality craftsmanship expected from this classic brand. The hardware exhibits a soft aged tone while remaining structurally sound for display or careful stream fishing.
