Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 3, 1oz Copper fishing spoon #2912

Stamped clearly into the head near the line-tie hole is the "K-B SUPERIOR WIS. 3" mark, identifying this classic casting and trolling piece from its Wisconsin roots. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 2912, features a polished copper finish that gleams across its entire 3 1/2" (9 cm) length. Often referred to by American anglers as a lure for "big fish," this K-B Bait spoon is a heavy-duty tool weighing in at 1oz (25 g). It is equipped with a sturdy split ring and a single large treble hook attached to the tail. The wide, leaf-shaped body is pressed from thick metal, providing the heft needed for deep-water presentations. The surface remains exceptionally clean and bright, reflecting its well-preserved 5/5 condition.
