Museum Archive: Vintage Lofty's Lures Lofty's Cobra, 3/16oz silver/red fishing spoon #18865

Silver and red pigments are encased within the clear, winged body of this 3/16oz (5g) casting lure. Identified as a Lofty's Cobra under Product Code 18865, this 1 1/4" (3cm) specimen showcases the distinct "boat-shaped" design that allows it to reach depths of 6ft (1.8m) when trolled. The internal silver core is accented by vibrant red tips, protected by a durable transparent plastic shell. Its hardware features a clean double hook attached to a through-wire system, which is characteristic of this model's rugged construction for targeting trout, salmon, or bass. In terms of condition, this piece sits at a 5/5, with the exterior shell and internal colors appearing exceptionally well-preserved and clear. The wire loops remain tight and unmarred, reflecting the physical state of this particular vintage find.
