Museum Archive: Vintage Etic Toronto Wobbler, 3/5oz Nickel / Copper fishing spoon #2428

Nickel plating on the front side provides a classic reflective flash, paired with a warm copper finish on the reverse of this Canadian classic. Sized at 8.5cm (3 1/4") and weighing in at 17g (3/5oz), this Toronto Wobbler by Etic, identified as product code 2428, carries the weight needed for deep-water casting or steady trolling. The stamped branding on the copper interior—reading "TORONTO WOBBLER ETIC"—is a hallmark of the manufacturer's heritage in crafting effective spoons for cold-water species like lake trout and pike. A sturdy treble hook is secured via a heavy-duty split ring at the wider end of the teardrop shape. Rated at 4/5, the metal shows the honest character of a lure that has seen some time in a tackle box while maintaining its structural integrity and fish-catching potential. The bimetal construction offers a distinct two-tone profile in the water, a feature often preferred by anglers when light conditions change throughout the day.
