Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Gator , 1 2/3oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #23799

Weighing in at 1 2/3 oz (45g), this heavy-gauge metal spoon is a classic Lindy / Little Joe creation intended for deep-water applications. The nickel and blue finish on this Lindy Gator (Product Code: 23799) features a distinctively placed painted eye on the lower end to provide a high-contrast target for predators. Measuring 4.5" (11.5 cm) in length, the stamped body retains a bright, reflective quality on the underside. This specific specimen is rated at 4/5 condition, showing a few soft character marks in the blue paint while the structural hardware remains sound. These USA-made lures are valued by collectors for their durable construction, utilizing heavy-duty split rings to secure the bronze-finished treble hook. The simple yet effective color scheme was a hallmark of the brand's early catalog, prioritizing visibility in various light conditions during a troll or retrieve.
