Vintage Sutton 88, 1/4oz silver/gold fishing spoon #22946

Silver plating on one side and a gold-toned brass finish on the reverse provide a versatile flash that has fooled fish for generations. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), the extremely thin brass construction allows for the specific quivering motion that has made Sutton lures legendary among Trout and Salmon anglers. The stamping “88 SUTTON CO. NAPLES, N.Y.” remains crisp on the silver side, identifying its origins and product code 22946. This specimen is rigged with a single hook attached via a split ring, a configuration favored for its reliable hooksets and reduced snagging during shallow-water trolling. Given its clean surfaces and intact hardware, the lure sits at a solid 4/5 condition rating. It represents the delicate, realistic presentation necessary for success in gin-clear waters where heavier spoons often fail to produce.
