Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 2, 1/2oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3263

Polished nickel on the reverse side features a clear stamp identifying this as a K-B Amasa, Mich. size 2 specimen. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the K-B Spoon 2 is a heavy-duty piece of Michigan angling history often referred to by American anglers as a lure for catching big fish. The convex face is decorated with a classic red and white wavy stripe pattern over a clean white base, a high-visibility scheme intended for targeting pike and muskies in varying water conditions. Under product code 3263, this spoon retains its original hardware, including two robust split rings and a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. This specific item is in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved paint and reflective metal finish. Manufactured by K-B Bait Co. in the USA, the solid construction is suitable for both casting and trolling. The stamped "2" on the back corresponds to the size classification used by the Amasa-based workshop during its production years.
