Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 506 , 1/4oz Nickel/Red fishing spoon #16561

A distinctive Nickel finish with red paint highlights distinguishes this vintage South Bend Super-Duper 506, a classic American-made lure weighing 1/4 oz (7 g). Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the piece features the iconic bent-metal 'U' shape that has made this series a favorite for generations of anglers. Stamped clearly on the reflective surface is the model name and number, identifying it as a genuine product of the USA. The red accents on the tips show light signs of previous use, though the overall condition is a respectable 4/5 rating. Its hardware includes a sharp treble hook attached to a sturdy split ring at the rear fold, specifically engineered for casting applications. Cataloged under product code 16561, the design showcases South Bend's historical approach to creating metal lures with unconventional geometries. The metal body remains straight and well-defined, with the stamping remaining legible and crisp across the nickel plating.
