Museum Archive: Vintage Marathon (with sonic blades), 2/5oz Red / Nickel fishing spoon #10363

A teardrop-shaped profile is accented by a vibrant red finish and a reflective prismatic insert on this Marathon spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure carries the distinct legacy of the Marathon Bait Company, which operated out of Wisconsin from 1929 to 1979. A crisp "MARATHON" stamp is visible on the polished Nickel back of the specimen. This specific model, identified by Product Code 10363, features two small, silver-toned willow-leaf sonic blades attached near the tail. These auxiliary blades provide additional visual flash near the treble hook during retrieval. The front side displays a diamond-patterned holographic tape that reflects a full spectrum of light against the deep red paint. All hardware, including the split rings and the silver-tone treble hook, remains in excellent state, supporting a condition rating of 5/5. The head of the spoon includes a clean, pre-drilled line tie for direct attachment or use with a snap.
