Museum Archive: Vintage Mister Twister Shelby Sportfisher, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #6921

Nickel plating gives this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) spoon a high-visibility flash that remains a staple for targeting freshwater predators. Produced in Japan, the Mister Twister Shelby Sportfisher (Product Code 6921) features a classic elongated profile suited for deep-water presentations. The concave rear of the blade clearly bears the "SHELBY JAPAN" stamp, a hallmark of mid-century manufacturing quality. For a collector, this specimen earns a 5/5 rating, as the reflective nickel surface is clean and well-preserved. The hardware consists of a heavy-duty split ring connecting a robust treble hook, designed to hold up against large game fish. With its 3/4oz (21g) weight, the lure functions effectively for long-distance casting or deep-line trolling. A single precision-drilled hole at the nose provides a secure connection point for a snap or leader.
