Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Yakima bait King fish 3, 1/4oz nickel/brass fishing spoon #23536

Nickel and brass finishes meet in a distinct vertical split on this Yakima Bait King Fish 3, providing a high-contrast visual profile for anglers. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the spoon body is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark on the nickel side. The hardware configuration includes a quality barrel swivel attached to the nose split ring and a stout, single siwash-style hook at the rear. Identified by product code 23536, this USA-produced lure represents a classic design used extensively for salmonids. The metal surfaces are bright and the split rings show no signs of fatigue, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5. The balanced weight and streamlined shape are characteristic of mid-sized spoons used for casting or trolling applications.
