Stamped clearly into the convex surface, the James Aitken Toledo, Ohio manufacturer mark confirms the pedigree of this 3 1/4" (8 cm) Nickel-plated spoon. This specific Muskielure model, product code 11652, is a direct link to the 1932-1933 designs of Percy Haver, a name synonymous with legendary muskie catches in Lake St. Clair. The design is distinctive for the small, metal fish-shaped silhouette secured within the cutout section of the main body, providing a unique visual profile for casting or trolling. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), the lure is rigged with a robust treble hook, built to withstand the pressure of heavy freshwater predators. The Nickel finish remains bright across most of the surface, earning a fine 4/5 condition rating for its honest wear and well-preserved metalwork. Its hardware is original, including the large attachment ring at the nose and the heavy-duty split ring connecting the hook at the tail.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
