Gold plating covers the front of this 2 1/4" (6cm) casting spoon, centered by a prismatic yellow scale-pattern inlay that catches light from multiple angles. Two small, elongated silver-toned blades are mounted at the rear, designed to add extra flash and mask the treble hook during its presentation. On the backside, the Marathon name is stamped clearly into the metal, connecting this piece to the legacy of the Wisconsin-based Marathon Bait Company, a prominent US manufacturer between 1929 and 1979. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), the lure possesses a classic teardrop profile well-suited for casting or trolling. The hardware remains bright and strong, and the overall finish is remarkably well-preserved, earning a 5/5 condition rating. A single line tie hole sits at the narrow end, balanced for the weight of the metal body and the secondary movement of the sonic blades.
