Heavyweight metal construction and a vibrant green finish define this 1 oz (25 g) spoon, designed for deep casting or trolling in heavy currents. Across its 2 3/4" (7 cm) body, a diagonal nickel stripe features a distinct jagged, saw-tooth pattern that provides a sharp contrast to the solid green paint. A small, painted yellow and black eye is situated near the nose, adding a traditional touch to the overall presentation. Stamped in Japan, the lure features a polished nickel reverse side that displays some light surface wear and minor oxidation consistent with a 3/5 condition rating. The hardware remains robust, featuring original split rings and a sturdy treble hook attached to the wider tail end. Identified by Product Code 8263, this Moriyama specimen reflects the utilitarian manufacturing style typical of Japanese exports from the mid-20th century. The spoon's thickness and weight distribution allow it to maintain depth effectively during a steady retrieve.
