Vintage Herter's , 2/5oz brass fishing spoon #22409

Stamped clearly into the concave surface of the metal is the "HERTER'S JAPAN" identifier, a classic hallmark of mid-century fishing tackle. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the brass body features two distinctive faceted red beads integrated into the upper half of the spoon. These beads are secured through precision-cut slots, providing a visual focal point that contrasts with the warm tone of the metal. At a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is designed for effective casting and controlled sinking. The hardware consists of sturdy split rings at both the line tie and the tail, supporting a single treble hook. Identified by product code 22409, the specimen shows light surface characteristics consistent with its age, earning a respectable 4/5 condition rating while retaining its original functional integrity.
