Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Karate Spoon, 1/2oz Silver fishing spoon #10785

Stamped clearly into the concave metal surface, the 1/2 oz (14 g) weight marking identifies the casting potential of this silver Atlantic Lures Karate Spoon. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the teardrop profile is a hallmark of mid-century American metal lure design, optimized for distance and accuracy. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 10785, features a high-polish silver finish that remains exceptionally bright across its entire surface. On the reverse side, the "KARATE" and "ATLANTIC LURES" branding is deeply embossed into the metal, reflecting the classic production standards of their USA factory. The hardware includes a robust treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring, maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. A single line-tie hole at the narrow end provides a clean attachment point for terminal tackle.
