Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Thin Doctor 175, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #6541

Nickel plating and distinctive red dots on the tail end define this lightweight trolling classic from the Prescott Spinner line. The Thin Doctor 175, identified by product code 6541, represents the specialized, thinner-profile variant of the manufacturer's famous Little Doctor series. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) and weighing a slender 1/4 oz (7 g), its reduced mass is a deliberate design choice for anglers focusing on trolling techniques rather than casting. This particular specimen is in unused condition (Rating 5), with the polished Nickel / Red finish remaining exceptionally bright and reflective. The single-hook setup attached via a sturdy split ring reflects its American heritage, built for reliable hooksets on northern species. Its construction features a slightly curved, elongated spoon shape that has made these USA-made lures a staple in vintage tackle boxes for decades.
