Museum Archive: Vintage Other Shur-katch The Drifter , 1/2oz fishing spoon #10123

A striking orange wave cuts across a black background on this 1/2 oz (14 g) metal trolling spoon. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the Shur-katch The Drifter features a distinctively notched profile at the head where the heavy-duty treble hook is mounted. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 10123, showcases the classic American manufacturing of the Shur-katch brand. Turning the lure over reveals the stamped branding into the metal surface, identifying it clearly as "The Drifter." The paint application on the front retains its high-contrast visibility, while the reverse side displays some surface marks consistent with its age, reflecting a 4/5 condition rating. Designed for trolling, the metal body is weighted to assist with reaching specific depths. A single, large silver treble hook is secured by a split ring, and clean line tie holes are present at both ends of the spoon.
