Gleaming gold plating defines the belly of this 1/3oz (10g) casting spoon, offering a high-contrast base for the deep green scales along its back. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), this Rapala Minnow Spoon, identified by product code 6417, represents a classic crossover design between a spoon and a hard-bodied lure. A vibrant yellow eye with a sharp black pupil sits just above a subtle red gill streak, adding a touch of realism to the front profile. The scale texture on the green upper section transitions smoothly into the polished gold sides, which are stamped with the manufacturer name and "USA" on the underside. Equipped with a rear treble hook via a sturdy split ring, this specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on its finish or hardware. The manufacturing origin from the USA period adds a layer of specific interest for collectors focusing on regional production history.
