Museum Archive: Shasta Humdinger, 1/8oz Red / Brown Metallic fishing spoon #2048

Tipping the scales at 1/8 oz (3.5g), this American-made spoon is a specialized tool for targeting Kokanee and Trout. The finish on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) specimen is a Red / Brown Metallic, which presents as a vibrant orange-red tip transitioning into a darker, greenish-brown metallic hue, though the manufacturer label identifies it as Silver Green Orange. Identified by Product Code 2048, the lure is unused and remains in its original Shasta Tackle Co. packaging from Bella Vista, CA. Its construction features a specialized ring chamber intended to emit a constant low-frequency vibration or hum while moving through the water. Designed for versatility, it is effective for both spin casting and trolling applications, particularly when trailed 20" to 48" behind a dodger. The 'Sonic' branding and 'Hum's A Fish-Catching Tune' tagline highlight the specific mechanical focus of this design for attracting strikes.
