Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner , 2/5oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #4534

Finished with a striking split-tone design, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon features a vibrant green panel paired with a textured silver glitter finish. Produced by TODDCO in the USA prior to 1980, the Main Liner (Product Code: 4534) is a classic example of mid-century casting lure design. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12.5 g), the body consists of a stamped metal plate with a deeply polished nickel reverse side. The front aesthetic uses a heavy-duty coating that catches light differently across the two halves, providing a high-contrast visual profile during retrieval. This specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a brass-toned treble hook, both of which remain bright and structurally sound. Looking at the back, the concave shape and central ridge are designed to manage water flow as it is pulled through the column. A single circular line-tie at the tapered head allows for a direct connection or the addition of a snap swivel.
