Hammered nickel textures catch the light across the broad surface of a classic spoon from the Marathon Bait Company. Identified by product code 3480, this Wisconsin-made lure measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length and weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g). A distinctive feature of this model is the inclusion of two small 'sonic' blades attached to the lower split rings. These mini-blades provide additional flash and mimic the movement of a tail fin while helping to obscure the sharp treble hook. Stamped clearly on the smooth reverse side is the 'MARATHON' name, a hallmark of the company that operated in the USA from 1929 through 1979. The hammered finish on the convex side provides a multi-faceted reflective surface for casting. This specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, showing well-preserved hardware and a clean finish.
