Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 3, 1oz Copper fishing spoon #3261

Copper plating defines the finish of this K-B Spoon 3, a lure frequently touted by American anglers as a premier choice for larger predatory fish. Stamped with product code 3261, this specimen from K-B Bait measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) and carries a substantial weight of 1oz (25 g), allowing for stable depth control during the retrieve. Often identified as the Superior model, the lure features a broad, stamped profile typical of heavy-duty casting spoons. The hardware setup includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring and a barrel swivel at the head to help manage line twist. Showing a soft, aged appearance on its metal surfaces that adds to its authentic vintage charm, the lure is preserved in 4/5 condition. Its heavy-gauge construction is a testament to the durable American manufacturing intended for targeting pike and muskellunge.
