Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Gator , 1 2/3oz nickel/chartreuse fishing spoon #23798

Weighing in at a substantial 1 2/3 oz (45g), this heavy-duty spoon is built for reaching depths where big predators lurk. The nickel/chartreuse finish features a bold combination of bright green and yellow paint over a metal base, punctuated by a prominent oversized eye target near the nose. Crafted in the USA by Lindy / Little Joe, the lure is equipped with a stout treble hook and rugged split rings at both ends for secure rigging. This specific Lindy Gator, identified by product code 23798, measures approximately 4.5" (11.4 cm) and provides a large profile for deep-water trolling or heavy casting. In terms of preservation, the specimen shows some honest character through surface paint wear, earning a solid 4/5 rating that highlights its history of use.
