Vintage Jake's Lures Lil Jake, 1/3oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #16053

Eight distinct red dots punctuate the polished nickel surface of this Lil Jake, creating a classic high-contrast visual that has fooled trout for generations. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this Jake's Lures specimen, identified by product code 16053, showcases a clever American design that bridges the gap between a spoon and a spinner. The body features a distinctive folded profile, which is shorter and wider than standard spoons to produce significant vibration and flash even during slow retrieves or while trolling. In an excellent 5/5 condition, the nickel finish is bright and the red spots remain well-defined across the metal. The hardware is equally well-preserved, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a simple yet effective wire mounting system. Designed primarily for deep, clear waters, it remains a go-to for anglers targeting salmonid species.
