Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main Liner, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #20233

Polished to a high-luster nickel finish, this American-made spoon from TODDCO serves as a classic example of pre-1980s metalwork. Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the Main Liner features a distinct longitudinal ridge that provides structural rigidity to the teardrop-shaped metal body. Cataloged under product code 20233, this vintage piece retains its original factory shine, reflecting the quality standards of mid-century USA manufacturing. The hardware setup includes a sturdy split ring connecting a sharp treble hook to the tail, while a single clean-punched hole at the tapered nose serves as the line attachment point. Found in 5/5 condition, the surface remains remarkably clean and free of handling marks, preserving the high-visibility metallic plating throughout its length.
