Stamped clearly on the back with 'MARATHON' and 'USA', the polished gold surface of this spoon represents a classic piece of Wisconsin fishing history. At 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) in length, the lure is a true ultra-light option weighing only 3/64 oz (1.3 g). The Marathon Bait Company manufactured these reliable lures between 1929 and 1979, and the build quality here shows exactly why they lasted half a century. A gold-tone treble hook is securely mounted via a split ring, complementing the overall aesthetic of the teardrop-shaped body. Rated 5/5 in condition, the finish remains reflective and well-preserved. Product code 19078 marks this particular find, featuring clean lines and a functional design intended for precision casting in smaller waters.
