Vintage James E. Clark Clark Spoon 00, 1/8oz gold fishing spoon #24355

Gold-plated metal forms the slim, diamond-shaped body of this 1/8 oz (4 g) rarity, a piece that showcases the long-standing craftsmanship of James E. Clark. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this Clark Spoon 00, bearing Product Code 24355, represents a lineage of American saltwater trolling lures that first appeared in 1927. The construction features a thin, elongated profile paired with a built-in swivel system designed to manage line twist while trolling for fast-moving species like Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, or Bonito. A vibrant red bead is positioned at the head, adding a splash of color against the gold finish and the sturdy, fixed hook. This specimen is preserved in excellent condition, rated 5/5, maintaining the bright reflective surface required for its intended use. Designed to be trolled behind a planer or inline weight, the lure produces a fast, lively fluttering motion in the water to simulate distressed baitfish.
