Stamped clearly on the metal body is the designation "SOUTH BEND SUPER-DUPER 503," identifying a design that became a staple in trout boxes across America. The distinctive U-shaped fold of this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) metal lure is engineered to catch water in a way few other spoons can, making it a reliable choice for casting or trolling on light line. This specimen features a classic nickel finish with a red interior, though some of the red paint has worn away from the lower leading edge through years of service. On the upper curve, the "PAT PEND'G" mark remains crisp, a small window into the era when South Bend was first introducing this unconventional silhouette to the market. Weighing 1/8 oz (4.3 g), it remains a versatile tool for targeting trout, bass, and pike. The hardware is straightforward, featuring a single split ring that secures a sharp treble hook to the tail end of the bend. This piece is in 4/5 condition, showing clean nickel plating and very legible factory stampings.
