Museum Archive: Vintage Other Sonic Spoonfish, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #17617

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (24 g), this American-made spoon features a distinctive pattern of ten circular holes drilled through its elongated metal body. This Nickel finish Sonic Spoonfish, identified by product code 17617, measures 4" (10 cm) in length and presents a classic teardrop profile that has served anglers for generations. The reflective surface of the Nickel plating remains bright and clear, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. Attached at the tail via a sturdy split ring is a sharp, silver-toned treble hook, prepared for casting or trolling. The perforated design is the most defining characteristic of this specimen, allowing water to pass through the lure as it is retrieved. Originating from the USA, the construction highlights the utilitarian hardware and clean lines typical of vintage metal lures. A small attachment point is located at the narrow nose for easy rigging to a snap or leader.
