Museum Archive: Vintage Worth Chippewa, 3/5oz red/white/nickel fishing spoon #21119

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the bold red and white diagonal striping on a Chippewa spoon immediately signals a classic mid-century aesthetic. Worth Manufacturing constructed this 3/5 oz (16 g) lure with a heavy-gauge metal body, providing enough mass for effective casting or trolling. A bronze-finish treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, matched by another ring at the head for secure line connection. On the reverse side, the bright nickel plating is clearly stamped with "MADE IN USA," reflecting the brand's Wisconsin roots. Cataloged as product code 21119, the piece remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and a clean metallic shine. The teardrop profile is balanced for stability through the water, making it a functional addition to any vintage tackle assortment.
