Museum Archive: Z-RAY Lures Z-Ray, 1/8oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #9897

Red splotches stand out against a bright yellow base on this vintage American-made specimen. Stamped clearly on the front is the bold black Z-RAY® logo, identifying this 1/8 oz (4 g) metal spoon from Z-RAY Lures. At 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive offset bend in the body, designed to be used for casting or trolling applications. The hardware includes a silver-toned treble hook attached via a split ring, showing the craftsmanship expected from USA production. This specific Z-Ray, cataloged under product code 9897, remains in unused condition with a rating of 6, maintaining its vibrant factory finish. The reverse side is a solid, uniform yellow, matching the primary tone of the face and providing a consistent profile in the water.
