Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner Squid, 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #4715

Nickel and green finishes define the aesthetic of this vintage TODDCO Main liner Squid, an American-made lure produced until 1980. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the design utilizes a spoon body paired with a soft plastic squid trailer. One half of the spoon's face is covered with a green holographic checkerboard scale pattern, while the other remains polished nickel. The attached green squid trailer features white speckled details and eyes, hiding a sharp treble hook inside its tentacles. Bearing the product code 4715, this specimen is in great shape with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only minor signs of its age. The reverse side reveals the smooth, stamped metal construction typical of TODDCO’s mid-century manufacturing process.
