A weight of 3/5 oz (17 g) provides this spoon with the necessary heft for reaching depth during casting or trolling. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm), the polished gold body is partially covered with a vibrant green and gold holographic scale pattern that adds significant visual flash. Near the tail, two silver willow-leaf mini-petals are attached to the split ring, serving to mask the treble hook and simulate the natural movement of a baitfish tail. The reverse side of the lure is clean gold metal, clearly stamped with "MARATHON" and "MADE IN USA," reflecting the legacy of the Wisconsin-based Marathon Bait Company that operated from 1929 to 1979. This specimen, assigned product code 19997, is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a bright finish and intact hardware throughout. The gold/green color configuration is specifically designed for visibility in various water conditions where a metallic profile is required.
