Museum Archive: Vintage Herter's Canadian Spoon, 1/3oz Brass fishing spoon #9880

Three translucent red accents are set into the upper portion of the brass body, catching light in a way that provides a subtle visual trigger. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Herter's Canadian Spoon (Product Code: 9880) represents a unique piece of post-war tackle history. The body features the clear stamping of the model name, a hallmark of the quality control during the era when these were produced in occupied Japan. The brass finish has aged gracefully, maintaining a clean and reflective surface that reflects a 5/5 condition rating. It is rigged with a robust treble hook and split rings that remain bright and functional. This specific design was engineered for versatility in casting and trolling applications, common for anglers targeting pike or large trout in northern waters. The teardrop profile tapers toward the line tie, balanced to remain stable under various retrieval speeds.
