Museum Archive: Vintage Shasta Tackle Sling Blade Dodger, 1/2oz Red / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #2403

Dressed in a striking Red, Green, and Nickel finish, the surface of this Shasta Tackle Sling Blade Dodger provides a high-contrast visual profile for trolling. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this thin-profile attractor is built for specialized deep-water presentations. The hardware is robust, featuring a heavy-duty ball-bearing swivel at one end and a snap at the other, designed to integrate into a terminal tackle setup. This specific specimen carries a 5/5 condition rating, maintaining a clean, mirror-like nickel finish on the reverse side where the product code 2403 is present on the original label. Shasta's legacy of producing effective attractors is reflected in the quality of the plating and the precise taper of the metal blade. The gradient transition from the deep forest green to the fiery red on the front face remains crisp without signs of handling.
