Museum Archive: Vintage K-B Bait K-B Spoon Superior 4, 1 1/3oz nickel fishing spoon #19367

Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length, this nickel-finished slab of American steel represents a piece of big-game fishing history. The back of the spoon is clearly stamped with "K-B SUPERIOR 4," a hallmark for anglers who specifically target trophy-sized pike and muskies. Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/3 oz (40g), the lure provides the necessary heft for deep-water presentations and long-distance casting against heavy winds. The mirror-like nickel plating remains exceptionally bright across the wide, teardrop-shaped body, showing off a surface free of the common storage wear. This specimen, identified by product code 19367, is equipped with a stout, original treble hook attached via a heavy-duty split ring at the rear. Collectors will appreciate the 5/5 condition, noting the crispness of the manufacturer's stamps and the integrity of the metallic finish. The large profile is characteristic of the K-B Bait line, which established its reputation on durability and effectiveness for heavy freshwater predators.
