Museum Archive: Vintage Slammer, 2/5oz Nickel / Golden fishing spoon #0480

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11.5 g), this Slammer spoon features a distinctive diagonal golden-glitter stripe over a polished nickel body. Hailing from the USA, the 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) trolling specialist carries the manufacturer's name stamped clearly into the clean nickel reverse. The 0480 model is rigged for heavy-duty work with a single, stout hook attached via a robust split ring, a setup favored by Great Lakes and coastal anglers for securing strong-jawed species. The finish provides a high-contrast flash, combining the reflective quality of nickel with the textured shimmer of the golden-chartreuse accent. Maintaining a condition rating of 4/5, the metal surfaces retain their original luster and the hardware remains tight and functional. Designed specifically for the steady pace of trolling, the elongated, slender profile of the Slammer 0480 is shaped to track with stability at various speeds.
