Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Strike Long John Spoon, 3/4oz Nickel / Copper fishing spoon #4636

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this Canadian-made spoon presents a classic two-tone flash designed for high visibility. Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated side is the circular Lucky Strike logo, marking its origin from a storied North American manufacturer. The 3/4 oz (21 g) weight provides substantial mass for distance casting or maintaining depth during a troll. Flip the lure over to see the clean copper finish on the reverse side, which offers a warm, metallic contrast to the silver-toned front. The hardware includes a robust treble hook joined by a strong split ring, showing minimal signs of age. In terms of preservation, the specimen earns a 5/5 rating, maintaining a bright reflective surface on both metal faces with all stampings remaining sharp. Found under product code 4636, the Long John Spoon is a staple of vintage hardware, featuring a single, cleanly drilled line attachment hole at the tapered end.
