Museum Archive: Vintage Sutton Spoon 38, 1/3oz silver fishing spoon #20552

Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) in length, the thin-profile design of this American-made classic is engineered specifically for delicate presentations in clear water. The Sutton Spoon 38, product code 20552, features a silver-plated finish over a thin brass base, a combination famous for producing a soft, quivering action that mimics dying baitfish. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), the spoon’s hammered surface provides subtle light reflection during shallow-water trolling sessions for Salmon, Trout, and Lake Trout. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining its bright silver luster and clean hammered detailing across the body. The lightweight construction allows the lure to maintain its movement even at slower speeds, making it a staple in the tackle boxes of Great Lakes anglers who prioritize a realistic approach. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail, while the nose features a pre-drilled hole for direct line attachment or an additional ring.
