Museum Archive: Vintage Happiness Is bait Marek-L-Lure by H.i UV, 2/3oz nickel/white UV fishing spoon #19992

Tipping the scales at 2/3oz (18g), this Marek-L-Lure by H.i UV represents a classic American-made spoon designed for casting and trolling. Measuring 4" (10cm) in length, the specimen features a high-visibility nickel and white UV finish, intended to catch and reflect light in the water column. This specific piece, identified by product code 19992, originates from the USA under the Happiness Is bait brand. The front of the lure is stamped with the Marek-L-Lure and H.I. Bait Co identifiers directly into the polished nickel surface. A stout treble hook is attached at the tail, and both the metal finish and the UV tape appear in excellent shape, showing that the lure is unused. The overall state of this piece earns it a 5/5 rating for any vintage tackle collection.
