Museum Archive: Vintage Advance tackle Stinger Scorpio , 3/16oz Copper / purple / White fishing spoon #4282

Featuring a classic hammered copper finish on its reverse side, this 3/16oz (5g) trolling spoon showcases the craftsmanship of Advance Tackle. The front surface transitions from vibrant purple edges to a crisp white center, accented by four distinct pink dots and a subtle dusting of red glitter. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this USA-made Stinger Scorpio, identified by Product Code 4282, is stamped with its name and Michigan origin directly into the honeycomb-patterned copper plating. This specific specimen remains in 5/5 condition, retaining its full luster on the metallic reverse and sharp definition on the painted side. The hardware is configured with a sharp treble hook and dual split rings, optimized for trolling setups where the contrast between the high-visibility paint and the warm copper flash is most effective. The narrow, elongated profile is characteristic of late 20th-century Great Lakes trolling designs used for targeting trout and salmon.
