1950s Katch King Weedless Spoon, Brass, 1/4 oz (7 g), #24529

Stamped with a "Katch King" mark and 1958 patent date, this brass spoon showcases a clever mid-century approach to versatile fishing. The hammered finish on the convex side provides distinct reflections, while the 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) length makes it a handy size for various freshwater species. This 1/4 oz (7 g) lure, identified as product code 24529, features an innovative convertible hook system, allowing a fisherman to switch between a standard spoon action and a weedless presentation by securing the hook under the built-in clips. Those twin brass retaining studs on the concave side are the key to its weedless functionality. Showing a 4/5 condition rating, the brass surface remains bright with only minor signs of age. Every detail of the construction, from the teardrop shape to the specific hook attachment, reflects the utility-driven design of the era.
