Vintage Worth Chippewa Steel Spoon, 1oz nickel/pink UV fishing spoon #19219

Vibrant pink UV paint with a hammered texture defines the outer edges of this 1 oz (28 g) spoon, separated by a distinct nickel stripe running down the center. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the Chippewa model reflects the metalworking heritage of the Worth Manufacturing Company of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, which originally focused on wire forms and metal components starting in the 1940s. This specimen, identified by product code 19219, is built on a steel base with a specific curve designed to produce a wide, slow, oscillating wobble. Anglers traditionally favored this profile for targeting northern pike, walleye, and lake trout in the Great Lakes region. The reverse side features a polished nickel finish, providing a clean surface for light reflection. This lure remains in unused condition, maintaining its original factory luster with a rating of 5/5. Its UV-reactive finish is specifically intended to catch light in deeper or stained waters where standard pigments might lose their punch. The heavy-duty treble hook is secured by a robust split ring, a testament to the hardware standards of this American manufacturer.
