Museum Archive: Vintage Shoff's Freak 0, 1/16oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #15348

Dipping into the lighter side of vintage ultralight tackle, the 1/16oz (1.7g) weight of this small spoon is specifically balanced for delicate presentations. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, the lure features a polished nickel finish paired with a vibrant red tip. Stamped into the metal is the "Shoff's Freak" name, a hallmark of the Shoff's Tackle Company of Kent, Washington, known for producing reliable gear for trout and panfish anglers across the Pacific Northwest. A single, long-shank hook is attached by a split ring, providing a simple and effective setup for casting in clear water. With a condition rating of 4/5, the piece shows some minor paint loss at the edges and light oxidation on the metal surfaces from years of storage. This specimen is listed under product code 15348.
