Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main Liner, 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #21851

A solid 3/4oz (21g) weight makes this nickel-finished spoon a reliable choice for long-distance casting or vertical jigging in deeper water. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Main Liner features a distinct central ridge that adds structural rigidity to its elongated, leaf-like body. This specific specimen, identified by product code 21851, remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing a bright and reflective surface across its American-made frame. The hardware includes a large, silver-toned treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring at the rear, while the front eyelet is cleanly drilled for a direct tie or snap attachment. TODDCO produced these spoons in the USA until 1980, representing a classic era of heavy-duty metal tackle designed for predatory species. The nickel plating covers both the concave and convex sides, ensuring consistent light reflection from multiple angles during the retrieve.
