Museum Archive: Vintage Sutton Spoon 22, 1/8oz silver fishing spoon #20227

Silver plating covers the slender 3 1/4" (8cm) body of this Sutton Spoon 22, showcasing the thin-gauge metal synonymous with the company's heritage since 1867. At 1/8oz (4g), the profile is intentionally delicate, allowing for a soft, quivering action that effectively replicates a dying baitfish in the water column. This specific model, product code 20227, is a sought-after rarity among collectors who value the traditional craftsmanship associated with the brand founded by Scott R. Sutton. Anglers traditionally deploy these for Trout, Salmon, and Lake Trout, particularly in clear environments where a subtle presentation is mandatory. The finish on this specimen is well-maintained, earning a 4/5 rating for its clean surface and intact hardware. A sturdy treble hook is attached to the rear, ready for trolling applications where slow speeds are preferred to get the most out of the spoon's thin brass foundation.
