Museum Archive: Vintage Kmart Spoon, 1/8oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #22984

Weighing 1/8oz (4g), the compact metal body of this casting lure is dressed in the iconic red and white diagonal stripe pattern. This Kmart Spoon, identified by product code 22984, features a highly reflective nickel-plated reverse side designed to catch light as it travels through the water. The hardware is comprised of a single treble hook and connecting split ring, both showing no signs of oxidation or wear. Given its 5/5 condition, the paint remains glossy and the edges of the metal teardrop shape are crisp and free of nicks. A small "Japan" stamp is visible on the concave side, signifying its manufacturing origin, located near the line-tie hole.
