Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Hildebrandt, 1/32oz Gold fishing spoon #1074

Gold plating covers every surface of this diminutive lure, from the stamped blade to the wire weed guard. Measuring 0 3/4" (2 cm) and weighing a subtle 1/32 oz (1.1 g), this item is built for finesse applications. The primary blade features the iconic "HILDEBRANDT" stamp and a weedless wire to help it slip through aquatic growth. A small brass-toned swivel is connected to the eyelet to prevent line twist, while two miniature teardrop blades are mounted directly to the single hook at the rear. This specimen, identified by product code 1074, is in unused condition (5/5) and retains its bright factory finish. Yakima Bait produced this specific model in the USA, adhering to a design meant for targeted casting in tighter spots.
