Hammered silver textures define the 2 3/4" (7 cm) body of this classic mid-century spoon from the Marathon Bait Company. Bearing the clear stamped identification "MARATHON WEEDLESS WOBBLER," the metal surface exhibits a pleasant character consistent with its 4/5 condition rating. Marathon, a major Wisconsin-based manufacturer from 1929 to 1979, designed this model for navigating heavy cover by integrating a fixed single hook and a wire weed guard. A small, orange-red bead is threaded onto the guard wire, adding a focused point of visual contrast against the metallic finish. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure features a thick metal construction intended for casting into dense vegetation where snagging is a risk. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 4701, includes a simple line tie eyelet at the nose and a robust hook securely riveted to the tail.
