Hammered brass gives this 1/3oz (10g) specimen a distinct textured surface designed to catch light from multiple angles. Produced in the USA, the 2996 model Weedless Katch King reflects a clever 1958 design that functions as either a standard spoon or a weedguard-protected lure. The dual wire guards are secured with rivets visible on the hammered face, a feature that allows for fishing in heavier cover than a traditional open-hook spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the interior concave side is stamped with the brand logo and the weed-guard mechanism. The hardware, including the split ring on the wider trailing edge, remains tight and the finish is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. This versatile piece of American tackle history was engineered for both casting and trolling applications.
