Museum Archive: Vintage Z-RAY Lures Z-Ray, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #5976

Three vibrant red dots are neatly applied to the reflective nickel-plated surface of this classic 2" (5 cm) spoon. Stamped clearly on the face is the "Z-RAY" identifier, positioned just below the central red spot. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features a distinctive angular bend in the metal body, designed to catch light during casting or trolling. The reverse side remains a clean, unpainted nickel, providing a contrasting flash. Manufactured in the USA by Z-RAY Lures, this specimen carries the product code 5976. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook connected by a split ring. Rated at 5/5, the finish is bright and the red paint remains saturated and intact across all three locations. A small attachment hole is punched at the head of the lure, ready for a snap or direct line tie.
