Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 502, 3/32oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #2667

Stamped on the gold-finished exterior with the model name and "SOUTH BEND," this U-shaped lure is a recognizable classic for any collector. At 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length and weighing just 3/32 oz (2.5 g), it was designed for light-tackle applications. The interior and front tip are finished in a contrasting red paint, which stands out against the metallic gold body. Identified by product code 2667, the lure features the patent number 2 719 378 stamped on the underside, confirming its USA-made heritage. The overall condition is a respectable 4/5, showing light evidence of handling that highlights its vintage charm. A standard treble hook remains attached to the rear bend by a simple split ring.
