Museum Archive: Vintage Wahoo Prizm Image Herring Spoon, 1 1/3oz fishing spoon #20868

A substantial 1 1/3 oz (40g) weight gives this American-made casting spoon the heft needed for long-distance deliveries. Measuring 4 1/4" (10.5cm) in length, the Prizm Image Herring Spoon features a detailed scale pattern that catches the light with a prismatic effect. The color scheme blends a bright chartreuse back into a silver-scaled body, punctuated by a red gill slash near the painted eye. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean silver reverse side, stamped clearly with the manufacturer’s name and "USA" origin. Wahoo produced these lures under the product code 20868, specifically designing the Herring Spoon's slender profile to mimic the slim silhouette of baitfish. The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring a strong treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use or wear on its reflective surfaces. It stands as a prime example of the specialized finishes Wahoo became known for in the Florida saltwater market.
