Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 3, 1oz Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #12764

Weighing in at 1oz (25g), this substantial brass-finished spoon has earned a long-standing reputation among American anglers as a specialized tool for targeting trophy-sized fish. This K-B Spoon 3 (Superior), manufactured by K-B Bait in the USA, measures 3 1/2" (9cm) and showcases the classic teardrop profile that has defined the brand's presence in tackle boxes for decades. The bronze (brass) surface of this specimen, identified by product code 12764, shows some light honest wear from storage and handling, maintaining a respectable 4/5 condition. A large, high-carbon steel treble hook is mounted at the rear with a heavy-duty split ring, balanced against a clean line-tie eyelet at the narrow end. The upper face of the metal body features the authentic stamped branding, a hallmark for collectors of mid-century American metal lures used for heavy casting and trolling.
