Vintage South Bend Sun Spot, 1/2oz gold/red fishing spoon #23358

Stamping across the center of the gold-toned body reveals the SOUTH BEND SUN SPOT branding, a hallmark of this vintage American-made spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), this 1/2oz (14g) lure showcases a unique construction where red inserts are recessed into teardrop-shaped windows along the metal frame. The hardware on this specimen, identified by product code 23358, remains in an exceptional state with a condition rating of 5/5. A small decorative stone is positioned right in the center, flanked by the manufacturer's name and the model designation. A single large hook is paired with a wire weed guard, designed for casting into cover where standard lures might snag. The contrast between the metallic gold surface and the vibrant red windows creates a striking visual profile. A sturdy split ring is already fitted to the line tie.
