Museum Archive: Vintage Hicks Tackle, 2/5oz Pearl fishing spoon #22554

A smooth, luminescent Pearl finish characterizes this vintage 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) spoon from the American workshops of Hicks Tackle. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure features a streamlined, elongated profile designed for versatile applications like casting or trolling. Identification for this specimen is confirmed by product code 22554, and it presents in excellent form with a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware is comprised of a large, silver-toned treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring at the tail, with a matching attachment ring at the nose for line connection. High-visibility white finishes like this were traditionally chosen by anglers for targeting fish in overcast conditions or murky depths. Each element of the stamped metal body showcases the functional design philosophy behind classic USA-made tackle.
