Museum Archive: Vintage Shasta Humdinger, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #2044

Polished nickel serves as the base for this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Shasta Humdinger, a staple for anglers targeting trout and kokanee. A vibrant silver glitter tape covers the front of the lure, punctuated by a prominent red eye with a black pupil near the head. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this US-made spoon is designed for both casting and trolling setups. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a single hook, a configuration often preferred for minimizing damage to the fish. Carrying product code 2044, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster and sharp edges. The stamped eyelet at the front is precisely positioned to balance the lure's profile during use.
