Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon , 3/16oz Steel fishing spoon #0069

Stamped clearly on the backside with the classic "K-B SUPERIOR WIS. PATENTED 1" mark, this piece of Superior, Wisconsin angling history remains a standout in its Steel finish. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the K-B Spoon features a distinctive pinched-waist profile originally developed by K-B Bait in 1929. The specimen, identified by product code 0069, is rigged with split rings and a sturdy treble hook, showcasing the solid construction that earned it the American nickname "the lure for catching big fish." Rated at 4/5, the metal surface retains a clean, bright finish that reflects the quality of its USA production. The number 1 designation on the stamp indicates its specific size within the original lineup, with the hardware remaining well-preserved for a design with such deep historical roots.
