Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 500, 3/64oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #2634

Stamped clearly on the reflective nickel body is the "SOUTH BEND SUPER-DUPER 500" identifier, a hallmark of this iconic American-made lure. Measuring 1" (2.5 cm) in length, its unique U-shaped metal frame includes a vibrant red paint accent at the nose, adding a sharp visual contrast against the silver finish. At a weight of just 3/64 oz (1.4 g), this lightweight specimen is designed for ultra-light casting or slow trolling applications. The construction features a small treble hook secured directly through a hole at the bend of the metal. Bearing product code 2634, this USA-crafted piece remains in well-preserved 4/5 condition, maintaining the clean lines and clear stamping South Bend was known for.
