Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main Liner Glow, 2/5oz Nickel / Phosphorescent Stripe Glow in Dark fishing spoon #13601

Nickel and phosphorescent paint are paired on the body of this casting spoon to provide a high-contrast visual in murky or deep water. Weighing 2/5oz (12.5g), the lure is built for versatility across various depths and casting conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the teardrop-shaped spoon is a classic product of TODDCO, an American brand that manufactured this Main Liner Glow model until 1980. This specific specimen, identified by product code 13601, features a polished silver-tone finish on one half and a luminescent stripe on the other. The hardware includes a silver-colored treble hook secured by a split ring, showing the sturdy assembly of mid-century USA tackle. With a condition rating of 5/5, the piece is remarkably well-preserved, with clean metallic plating and a well-defined painted stripe. The glow-in-the-dark feature remains fully functional, illuminating in a pale green hue when charged with a light source.
