Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Strike, 1oz fishing spoon #12653

A faceted red glass bead serves as a striking focal point near the line tie of this Canadian-made Lucky Strike spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side with the manufacturer's mark, this specimen represents the classic silver-finished hardware that became a staple in North American tackle boxes. Weighing 1 oz (25 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) in length, it offers significant mass for casting or trolling applications. This specific piece, identified by product code 12653, is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a bright and reflective surface. An interesting modification is found on the hardware: one point of the original treble hook has been intentionally clipped by a previous owner to convert it into a double hook, likely to help navigate through weedy or rocky structures.
