Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon Superior, 1oz nickel/red/gold fishing spoon #19500

A weight of 1oz (25g) gives this American-made spoon the heft required for reaching distant targets where larger predators lurk. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), this K-B Spoon Superior showcases a classic nickel base accented by vibrant red and gold holographic tape strips. The reverse side is clearly stamped with "K-B SUPERIOR WIS. 3", identifying its origin from the K-B Bait company and a design lineage that traces back to 1929. Often referred to by seasoned anglers as the "big fish spoon," this model, designated as product code 19500, is built for heavy-duty casting and trolling. The hardware is in functional condition, featuring a bronzed treble hook attached via sturdy split rings. This specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, with the reflective surfaces and prismatic tape still retaining a bright, clean appearance. The teardrop shape and broad profile are characteristic of the original Wisconsin craftsmanship intended for pike and muskie fishing.
