Museum Archive: Vintage Nemire Lures Red Ripper, 2/5oz Gold fishing spoon #13213

Gold plating covers the entire teardrop-shaped body of this 2/5 oz (12 g) specimen. Produced by Nemire Lures, the Red Ripper (product code 13213) measures exactly 2" (5 cm) and was engineered in the USA for fishing through dense cover. The reverse side features the authentic "Red Ripper" and "Patent Pending" stamps, highlighting its specific design lineage. This model is distinguished by an internal rattling chamber, which adds a sonic element to its profile. For protection against snags, it utilizes a wire weed guard finished with a black rubberized tip over the hook point. Keeping a 5/5 condition rating, the gold surface is clean and maintains a high-mirror shine. A sturdy split ring is attached to the nose eyelet for a secure connection to the line.
