Bold yellow paint accented by large black polka dots provides high contrast for this mid-century classic. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Worth Chippewa Spoon (Product Code 8904) represents a period of reliable American manufacturing from the Worth Company. The nickel-plated reverse side is clearly stamped with 'MADE IN USA' and an 'S' mark, indicating its size and provenance. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing some light chipping on the painted edges which is typical for lures of this age. Its teardrop body is equipped with a sharp treble hook attached via a split ring, while the front eyelet is ready for a leader or snap. Popular among anglers in the post-war era for its simple yet effective design, the Chippewa was built primarily for casting to game fish in freshwater environments.
