Stamped with a detailed scale pattern across its gold-finished body, this piece represents the classic American tackle craftsmanship of the now-defunct Ideal Products company. A length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and a weight of 3/16 oz (5 g) categorize this spoon as a light-tackle specialist for casting into shallower zones. Front-facing surfaces feature a pressed eye-circle near the line tie and rows of textured scales designed to catch light from multiple angles. Turning the lure over reveals a smoother back with fine diagonal ridges along one edge, a distinct manufacturing detail for the Mr Fish model. Hardware consists of a bronzed treble hook secured by a split ring, maintaining the original factory configuration for Product Code 18018. The gold plating is exceptionally clean and retains its original luster, resulting in a 5/5 condition rating for this vintage USA-made specimen.
