Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon 3, 1oz Copper fishing spoon #3414

Polished copper surfaces give this size 3 casting spoon a classic look that has long been favored for targeting large predatory fish. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing in at a substantial 1 oz (25 g), the solid metal body features deep, clear stamping on the concave side that reads "K-B SUPERIOR WIS. PATENTED 3." This K-B Bait Co. classic, identified by product code 3414, is equipped with a distinct red treble hook secured by a robust split ring. The rich copper tone is preserved beautifully across the entire specimen, reflecting a 5/5 condition. Recognized among American anglers as a specialized lure for heavy-duty work, its density is well-suited for long-distance casting or deep trolling. The line-tie hole is precisely drilled at the narrow head, designed to accommodate heavy snaps or wire leaders alongside the heavy-gauge rear hardware.
