Museum Archive: TODDCO Mainliner , 2/5oz Glow (Glow in Dark) fishing spoon #1892

Orange polka dots stand out against the white glow base of this vintage Toddco Mainliner spoon. Cataloged as product code 1892, this 2-inch (5 cm) lure from Toddco Products of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is designed for deep running during trolling or casting. This specimen is in unused condition and remains in its original blister pack, though a fine crack is visible in the center paint finish. Rated at 2/5 oz (11 g), the spoon is rigged with a 3x strong treble hook specifically suited for Salmon, Pike, and Stripers. The glow-in-the-dark finish was a staple for anglers fishing in low-light conditions or deeper water columns where visibility is limited.
