Vintage Other Sparky Jr. Spoon Sparkling Minnow, 1/4oz fishing spoon #23967

Gold-toned sparkle finish coats the body of this 1/4 oz (7 g) metal lure, reflecting a design philosophy from 1951. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the Sparky Jr. Spoon Sparkling Minnow features a distinct fish-like profile that narrows toward the head and flares at the tail to create its unique silhouette. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 23967, is a rarity from the USA and maintains a condition rating of 5/5, with the textured surface and hardware remaining remarkably well-preserved. The construction includes a nose-mounted split ring for line attachment and a rear-mounted treble hook secured by a heavy-duty ring. Collectors will appreciate how the light-catching glitter embedded in the finish remains vibrant, a hallmark of Sparky's mid-century production techniques designed for casting and deep-water retrieves. The treble hook shows the natural darkening of time while maintaining its sharp points and structural integrity.
