Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Les Davis Pt Defiance Fishing Spoon, 3/16oz nickel/red fishing spoon #22056

Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) in length, this nickel-finished spoon represents a classic piece of Pacific Northwest angling history. The bright metallic surface is accented by a textured, red holographic oval sticker centered on the body, designed to provide high-visibility flash at various light levels. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this Les Davis Pt Defiance model (Product Code 22056) was manufactured in the USA and remains a sought-after rarity for those who appreciate traditional casting and trolling hardware. The rigging consists of a large, high-carbon single hook attached via a heavy-duty split ring, while the nose is equipped with a barrel swivel to mitigate line twist during retrieval. Looking at the profile, the metal plate features a distinct curve that dictates its specific movement through the water column. This specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining a very clean finish with no visible wear on the nickel plating or the prismatic red inlay.
