Stamped clearly on the back of the copper blade is the 'HOTROD' mark, identifying this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon as a quintessential Les Davis creation. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this specimen features a warm copper finish accented by a single red dot near the front eyelet. A notable hardware detail is the small red plastic strike tab attached to the split ring alongside the treble hook, providing a secondary visual trigger. For collectors of American-made tackle, the #22578 stands out as a high-quality example in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, reflective surface on both sides of the metal. The classic teardrop shape and weight make it a versatile choice for casting in rivers or light trolling for trout. The original treble hook remains sharp and securely fastened to the heavy-duty split ring.
