Gold and silver finishes meet along the signature stabilizing ridge of this Canadian-made spoon. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) with a length of 2 1/4" (5.7cm), this W40 size remains a staple for anglers targeting pike and walleye. The metal body on product code 18843 features the distinct stamping near the line tie, marking its origin from a brand that has consolidated production in Canada since the late 1970s. Genuine silver plating provides the high-vis flash on the lighter half, while the gold-plated side offers a contrasting glow. Both plated surfaces show soft signs of previous use, maintaining a clean appearance that earns a condition rating of 4/5. Hardware consists of the original large treble hook and a barrel swivel connected by a split ring at the nose. The central longitudinal ridge serves as a technical stabilizer for the metal plate during casting or trolling.
