Vintage Marathon Marathon, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #22380

Tipping the scales at 1/4oz (8g), this classic spoon represents the golden era of Wisconsin tackle manufacturing. Produced by the Marathon Bait Company, which stood as the state's largest lure maker between 1929 and 1979, this 2 1/4" (6cm) specimen features a brilliant nickel finish. The inner face is stamped with the recognizable Marathon name, a mark of quality from their fifty-year production history. Hardware consists of a clean treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, while the head features a single punched hole for direct line tie or snap attachment. Rated at 5/5, the nickel surface retains a bright, reflective quality across its elongated, teardrop-shaped body. For those tracking specific catalog entries, this item is listed under product code 22380. The solid metal construction and weight distribution make it a versatile choice for anglers looking to add a piece of mid-century American history to their collection.
