Museum Archive: Vintage Spoofer Mark V, 3/4oz blue fishing spoon #21179

A vibrant metallic blue finish distinguishes this 1960s vertical jigging spoon, originally designed for reaching deep structures in the USA. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, the metal body features a unique dual-texture design, with a raised pyramid pattern on the neck and a smooth teardrop base accented by a white swoosh graphic. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), this heavy-gauge pilker remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant luster across its entire surface. The reverse side of the lure is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark and patent information, reflecting its heritage as a specialty jigging tool. Outfitted with strong split rings and a sharp, gold-finished treble hook, this specimen, identified as product code 21179, is a prime example of mid-century metal lure engineering. These Spoofer models were prized for their ability to descend quickly through the water column while maintaining a stable vertical orientation.
