Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner , 2/5oz Nickel / Dark Red fishing spoon #12221

A striking diagonal slash of dark red paint covers half of the convex face, contrasting sharply with the polished nickel finish on this vintage spoon. This TODDCO Main liner, cataloged as product code 12221, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and weighs 2/5 oz (12.5 g). Manufactured in the USA prior to 1980, the lure features a distinctive longitudinal ridge running down the center of the metal body, providing a unique profile compared to flatter spoon designs. The reverse side remains a clean, unpainted nickel, showing the quality of the original plating. A silver-toned treble hook is securely attached via a split ring at the tail. This specimen is in excellent shape, maintaining its vibrant color and bright metal surfaces, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. A single attachment hole is drilled cleanly at the narrow end for direct rigging.
