Marathon Giant , 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #24088

Nickel plating gives this 4" (10 cm) spoon a high-visibility flash that remains as bright today as when it left the factory. Tipping the scales at 3/4oz (21 g), this specimen represents the 'Giant' series from the Marathon Bait Company, which held the title of Wisconsin's largest lure manufacturer during its fifty-year run from 1929 to 1979. The stamped 'GIANT' lettering on the blue cardboard backing confirms its identity and catalog placement under product code 24088. This particular lure is unused and remains attached to its original card, making it a significant find for collectors of mid-century American tackle. The construction features a classic teardrop spoon profile paired with a stout treble hook and a secondary attractor blade mounted via a split ring at the rear. All hardware is remarkably clean, reflecting the quality standards of Marathon's USA-based production.
