Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main Liner , 2/5oz Nickel / Golden Hologram fishing spoon #8651

Golden hologram film covers exactly one half of the nickel-plated body on this 2" (5 cm) TODDCO Main Liner. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure is built on a solid metal base with a pronounced longitudinal keel on the reverse side to influence its orientation. This specimen, identified by product code 8651, remains unused and retains its original factory luster on both the polished nickel and the textured gold foil. Produced in the USA until 1980, TODDCO’s design utilized a single treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the tail. The contrast between the smooth silver finish and the geometric patterns of the golden hologram side provides a dual-tone visual profile characteristic of late 20th-century American tackle. A single, clean-cut hole at the nose serves as the primary attachment point for casting or trolling setups.
