Museum Archive: Wahoo Key Largo Swim'n Fin, 3/4oz fishing spoon #16731

Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-bodied metal lure is designed for reaching deeper water columns where predators like pike or zander reside. The vibrant finish transitions from a deep red-orange spine through a gold-scaled midsection down to a chartreuse belly, providing high visibility in various water clarities. Identified by product code 16731, the Wahoo Key Largo Swim'n Fin is a specialized piece of vintage hardware featuring an internal noise chamber for acoustic attraction. This 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) specimen remains unused in its original green and clear blister pack, preserved in its original state. Looking closely at the construction, the Dominican Republic-made body is rigged with a robust bronze-finished treble hook and an integrated nose swivel to help manage line twist. The intricate cross-hatched scale pattern and bold black eye provide a realistic profile for casting or vertical jigging techniques.
