Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner , 2/5oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0412

A striking combination of a polished nickel base and a blue prismatic foil defines the visual character of this American-made specimen. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this Toddco Main liner is a quintessential example of mid-century spoon construction. The 2-inch (5 cm) blade features a distinctive half-and-half finish where the reflective nickel meets a blue patterned tape. Found in unused condition (5/5), the lure retains its original factory luster across the metal surfaces and the adhesive tape. The hardware consists of a silver-finished treble hook connected by a split ring at the rear. Labeled with product code 0412, this USA-crafted lure represents the straightforward engineering Toddco utilized for its casting spoons. The concavity of the spoon's underside is finished in the same polished nickel, allowing for a consistent flash from various angles.
