Hofmann Lakeview Spec Spoon, Nickel, 3/16 oz (5g), Weedguard, #24739

Stamped directly into the nickel plating of this 3/16 oz (5 g) spoon are the words "HOFMANN'S LURES LAKEVIEW, O. SPEC.", representing the family-run Ohio business founded in 1952. A prominent red bead is embedded in the center of the 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) metal body, providing a classic contrast against the bright metal. Designed for casting into heavy cover, the reverse side features a wire weedguard that aligns with the single hook to prevent snagging on weeds and lily pads. The hook itself is dressed with a white bucktail, secured by black thread and finished with a red collar accent. Rated in 5/5 condition, this vintage spoon, listed under product code 24739, shows remarkably well with its bright plating and intact dressing.
