Vintage Worth Water Demon, 1/4oz abalone fishing spoon #23889

Abalone scale texture catches the light across the top of this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon, a classic example of American-made tackle from the Worth Company. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Water Demon features a distinct cream-toned organic insert pinned securely to a polished metal base. This specific specimen, identified by product code 23889, maintains a clean appearance with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only the lightest hints of age on its original hardware. The design utilizes a single split ring at the rear to hold a sharp treble hook, while the front tie-point is integrated directly into the metal frame. Ideal for casting or trolling, the weight-forward distribution is typical for mid-century lures of this rarity. The metallic backing provides a solid contrast to the pearlescent topside, highlighting the craftsmanship often found in Stevens Point, Wisconsin production.
