Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon, 1oz nickel fishing spoon #19468

Stamped directly into the metal on the concave side, the "K-B SUPERIOR WIS. PATENTED" mark identifies this heavy 1oz (25g) casting spoon from K-B Bait. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the lure features a design lineage that traces back to 1929, famously regarded by American anglers as a specialist tool for pursuing trophy-sized fish. The polished nickel finish offers a sharp flash, paired with robust hardware including split rings and a bronzed treble hook at the tail. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen, identified by product code 19468, is beautifully preserved with a condition rating of 5/5. The thick gauge of the metal reflects the durable construction necessary for deep-water trolling or heavy casting applications.
