Museum Archive: Worth Red King Spoon, 3/5oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #1943

Hammered Nickel plating gives the surface of this spoon a distinctive prismatic effect, reflecting light in a way that stands out in coastal environments. Weighing 3/5 oz (17 g) and measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this Red King Spoon by Worth is built on a foundation of hammered brass, as indicated on the classic red and white card. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1943, remains unused in its original factory blister pack. Examining the back of the packaging reveals the use of a Worth X² Power Split Ring, an extra-strong and corrosion-resistant piece of hardware designed for the rigors of saltwater fishing. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this lure was specifically developed for targeting Redfish and other inshore species where a high-visibility profile is required. The textured surface is the primary feature, providing a specific light-refraction pattern when casting or trolling.
