Museum Archive: South Bend Super Spoon, 2/5oz red/white fishing spoon #21358

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this teardrop-shaped spoon features the iconic red and white color scheme that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. This specific South Bend Super Spoon, carrying product code 21358 (noted as SP-38RW on the card), is found in unused condition, still preserved in its original "Essential South Bend" blister packaging. The high-flash finish on the red-striped face provides significant underwater visibility, while the 2/5 oz (12 g) weight offers enough heft for precise casting toward submerged structures. Equipped with a sharp treble hook and durable split rings, it represents a line of tackle built for reliability across various game fish species. The reverse side of the packaging includes vintage angling advice regarding fishing near cover like weed edges and fallen trees to maintain a natural presentation.
