Museum Archive: Vintage Hex Baits, 3/4oz nickel/red eyes fishing spoon #20665

Four faceted red beads are securely nested within a longitudinal slot in this 3/4oz (21g) nickel-finished spoon. Identified by Product Code 20665, the design reflects the craftsmanship Hector McLean brought to his Brockville, Ontario workshop when he founded the brand in 1937. The reflective nickel surface of this 3 1/4" (8.5cm) lure remains bright and clean, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. Sturdy hardware includes a large treble hook and an integrated swivel, typical of the durable construction found in Hex Baits' early Canadian metal lures. These red inserts were designed to catch light and provide a visual focal point against the silver flash during trolling or casting sessions.
