A distinct "JAPAN" stamp on the concave underside identifies the origin of this classic silver-plated spoon. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the Mister Twister Shelby Sportfisher is a heavy-duty casting tool designed with a traditional teardrop profile. The silver-plated finish shows some honest signs of light surface wear, earning this specimen a solid 4/5 condition rating. Weighing 3/4oz (21g), the lure is well-suited for reaching deeper thermal layers where larger predators often hold. Its hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook that remains securely attached. Identified by product code 19742, this piece represents the reliable manufacturing quality of Japanese-made tackle from the latter half of the 20th century. The silver plating provides a brilliant reflective surface designed to maximize visibility during a standard retrieve.
