Museum Archive: Vintage Jake's Lures Lil Jake, 1/3oz gold/red fishing spoon #22227

A brassy gold finish decorated with distinct red spots defines the visual character of this Jake's Lures Lil Jake. Weighing 1/3oz (9g), the design features a unique folded metal body that measures 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length. This American-made classic, identified by product code 22227, utilizes a specific geometry to create a profile that bridges the gap between the properties of a traditional spoon and a spinner. The construction involves a single piece of stamped metal bent back upon itself, forming an open-ended chamber intended for casting or trolling for predatory species. Rated 4/5, the specimen shows gentle signs of use while maintaining the vibrant gold plating and red dot pattern across its surface. A large, bronzed treble hook is secured to the trailing edge via a robust split ring, while a single line-tie hole is stamped into the leading edge of the upper fold.
