Vintage Marathon Marathon, 3/4oz nickel/black/white fishing spoon #22580

Black and white diagonal stripes over a polished nickel base provide a high-contrast visual profile on this 3 1/2" (9 cm) spoon. Stamped directly into the metal on the reverse side is the Marathon brand name, identifying it as a classic piece of American tackle history. At 3/4 oz (21 g), the teardrop-shaped body is weighted for reaching substantial distances when casting or maintaining depth during a troll. The painted face features wavy black and white sections that contrast against the bright nickel edges. This specific lure, listed under product code 22580, is in 4/5 condition, displaying some paint loss and surface marks from previous use. Hardware includes a large treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail, while the head features a single attachment point for a line tie or swivel.
