Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Little Joe, 3/5oz Nickel fishing spoon #6287

Nickel plating covers the entire surface of this 3" (7.5 cm) spoon, providing a high-flash finish that anglers have relied on for decades. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), the metal body is substantial enough for long-distance casting or trolling where a strong profile is needed. The concave side features a clear stamp of the brand name, a hallmark of the Lindy / Little Joe legacy of producing reliable American tackle in the USA. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 6287, remains in 5/5 condition, showing the bright, unmarred luster of a well-preserved piece. The hardware is equally clean, featuring a stout treble hook and split rings that were built for rugged use in various freshwater environments. Its streamlined, elongated teardrop shape is a classic design engineered to catch light from multiple angles even in deeper or murky conditions.
