Museum Archive: Vintage Shasta Humdinger, 2/5oz Nickel / Green Glitter fishing spoon #4871

Green glitter catches the light across the upper face of this vintage Shasta Humdinger, providing a high-contrast finish against its nickel-plated body. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen (Product Code 4871) features the characteristic offset profile designed by the American manufacturer for distinct hydrodynamics during trolling or casting. A prominent red eye with a black pupil is positioned near the line tie, while the reverse side showcases a clean, unadorned nickel surface. This USA-made lure is equipped with a large, original single hook attached via a robust split ring. Rated in condition 5, the lure is unused and exhibits a bright, preserved finish without signs of wear, making it a well-kept example of West Coast tackle history.
