Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend, 3/5oz nickel fishing spoon #19380

At exactly 3/5 oz (17 g), this casting spoon represents a versatile weight for reaching deeper structures or casting into the wind. Stamped clearly into the underside of the metal body is the "SOUTH BEND" maker's mark, signifying its origin as a quality USA-made tool. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the nickel-finished lure features two distinct rivets near the nose and is rigged with split rings at both ends. Product code 19380 designates this specific model, which remains in 5/5 condition with a clean and bright metallic surface. The rear split ring is paired with a sharp, standard-sized treble hook.
