Museum Archive: Vintage Other Katch King, 1oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #9948

A striking red and white paint scheme covers the upper surface of this 1oz (25g) Katch King spoon, which dates back to 1958. Originating from the USA under product code 9948, the 3 1/2" (9cm) body features a polished nickel underside. This specimen is notable for its convertible construction; the top-side sliding mechanism allows the angler to toggle a wire guard, adapting the lure for casting through vegetation or in clear water. The finish is exceptionally well-maintained, earning a 5/5 condition rating with vibrant colors and clean metallic surfaces. The hardware configuration includes a rear treble hook and an internal wire guard system integrated into the concave frame.
