Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Sculpin, 3/16oz Red / White fishing spoon #3642

Sized at 3/16 oz (5 g), this classic trolling spoon features a bold red and white split-color finish that has become a staple in many vintage tackle boxes. Originating from the USA, the Heddon Sculpin, identified by product code 3642, measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length and carries a distinct diamond-textured metal insert right in the center of the blade. Looking closely at the white section, three decorative red dots align with visible indentations on the reverse side. The spoon is rigged with a single large hook secured by a sturdy split ring at the rear. A secondary hole at the nose is left open for direct line attachment or a snap. This specimen maintains a 4/5 rating, showing honest character from its time in the water while remaining a solid example for a collection. The reverse of the lure shows the clean metal base with subtle surface marks consistent with its age.
