Museum Archive: Shasta Humdinger, 1/2oz Gold Sand / Red fishing spoon #2051

Dipped in a distinctive Gold Sand / Red finish, this 1/2 oz (14 g) trolling spoon features a textured, glittered gold face framed by a vibrant fluorescent red border. Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm) in length, the Shasta Tackle Co. Humdinger is engineered with a specialized sonic ring chamber designed to emit a constant low-frequency vibration. This 'Sonic' model produces a fluttering movement that mimics fleeing baitfish, making it a specialized tool for targeting Kokanee and Trout. The reverse of the packaging provides specific rigging advice for Western lakes, suggesting a 20" to 48" (51 cm to 122 cm) leader when trolling behind a dodger or a 16" (41 cm) leader for spin casting. Bearing the product code 2051, this specimen remains unused in its original Bella Vista, California, factory packaging. The lure's construction includes a high-visibility color scheme and hardware optimized for moderate or stop-and-go retrieves.
