Museum Archive: Shasta Humdinger, 1/8oz Nickel / Green / glitter fishing spoon #0815

Green glitter accents sparkle against the nickel finish of this specimen, immediately catching the eye through its original clear blister packaging. Produced by Shasta Tackle Co. in Bella Vista, CA, the Humdinger is a staple for those targeting Kokanee and trout. This lure, carrying product code 0815, measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and tips the scales at 1/8 oz (3.5 g). The spoon features a distinctive bright green front side with a contrasting red eye dot near the top, while the back displays a clean nickel sheen. It comes rigged with a single hook, standard for Kokanee techniques. Finding one in its original "Sonic" card packaging is a treat for collectors; since it remains unused in the factory seal, it earns a condition rating of 6. The packaging highlights its specialized design for "Hum's A Fish-Catching Tune," nodding to the branding used for Shasta’s sonic series. The "Made in USA" stamp on the card reinforces its vintage origin from the Bella Vista facility.
