Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 503, 3/16oz Gold/red fishing spoon #24239

Red paint on the head of this 1 1/2" (3.7 cm) metal lure provides a classic contrast against its weathered gold finish. Stamped clearly into the U-shaped body, the South Bend Super-Duper 503 name identifies this specimen as a product of USA manufacturing with product code 24239. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the construction involves a single piece of folded metal, a design that bridges the gap between traditional spoons and spinners. You can see some honest wear on the red tip and minor surface marks along the gold body, though the metal remains sound and the hardware is surprisingly clean. This specimen sits at a 4/5 condition rating. The original treble hook is attached at the bend, while a metal snap is fitted at the line tie for easy rigging.
