Description

This antique fishing spoon, "Léman Special Bar" model, is an accessory for sea or freshwater fishing. The item features an elongated blade with a silver metallic finish, equipped with an attachment ring at one end and a treble hook at the other. The surface has a legible engraving: "Léman Special Bar", accompanied by additional smaller characters that are difficult to decipher in the photo.

The body of the spoon has a smooth, lightly patinated surface, typical of vintage fishing accessories. The item displays a clean, functional design, characteristic of classic metallic lures used for predatory fish. The upper attachment system includes a barrel swivel, allowing for fluid rotation when animated in the water.

The treble hook, clearly visible, is attached to the blade by a split ring. It shows three curved points, typical of this type of setup to maximize the chances of capture during a bite. The assembly is original, with no apparent modification. The overall finish suggests careful manufacturing, without superfluous decoration.

The blade has a slightly satin appearance, with traces of oxidation or micro-scratches, indicating prolonged storage but no use, which corresponds to the "deadstock" (unused old stock) mention. The shape and proportion of the object are suitable for predator fishing, especially sea bass, trout, or similar-sized fish.

The item is photographed on a burgundy velvet case, which enhances its vintage look and the metal's shine. No original packaging is visible; only the spoon is presented.

Condition

Used antique item, sold as is. Shows traces of storage, micro-scratches, and patina on the metallic surface. No visible structural defects. Hook and swivel are in place, not deformed.

Did you know? The "Léman Special Bar" spoon owes its name to Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), renowned for sport fishing of trout, pike, and whitefish. Metal spoons have been used since the late 19th century for their effectiveness on predatory fish due to their reflections and vibrations underwater.
