Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Gator , 1 2/3oz nickel/black fishing spoon #23585

A substantial 1 2/3 oz (45g) weight gives this spoon the density needed to reach deep-water structures. The 4.5" (11.5 cm) body features a high-contrast nickel and black finish, complete with a distinctive white target eye at the front end. Lindy / Little Joe produced these in the USA, designing them as rugged tools for large freshwater predators like northern pike. Turning the lure over reveals a solid white painted underside, providing a stark visual shift from the metallic top. A large treble hook is secured via a sturdy split ring at the rear. This particular specimen, identified by product code 23585, maintains a 4/5 condition rating, showing minor paint loss and surface marks that reflect its vintage character.
