Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner , 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0453

Nickel and blue finishes split the teardrop profile of this American-made casting spoon. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7.5g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic mid-century manufacturing style of TODDCO. The manufacturer was known for producing durable metal lures favored for their casting distance. The nickel-plated surface on one half transitions into a vibrant blue stripe on the other, designed to create a specific visual flash. Listed under product code 0453, the Main Liner features a convex body shape with a distinct central ridge visible on the reverse side. The lure is in a very well-maintained 4/5 condition, showing only the light storage marks typical of a tackle box survivor from the USA. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, ready for the water or a display board.
