Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 503, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #4298

Stamped with the South Bend Super-Duper 503 identifier along its nickel-plated surface, this specialized metal lure showcases the distinct U-shaped fold that made this model a staple in mid-century tackle boxes. At a weight of 1/8oz (4.3g) and a length of 1 1/2" (3.5cm), the specimen's construction is tailored for light-tackle casting and trolling. The nickel finish is accented by red paint near the line-tie end, which shows some light signs of use typical of an authentic vintage piece. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the metal maintains a strong luster with only minor surface marks. The hardware includes a factory-standard treble hook and a brass-colored line tie. On the inner fold, the original patent number stamping remains clearly legible, marking its origin as a genuine USA-made South Bend product.
