Silver zeddy would have accounted for a very large proportion of salmon caught in NZ waters

Yes or white or fluorescent orange or green although the last one I caught last year was on an American Import

Yip, Colorado Spoon or silver zeddy with a bit of red. A silver ticer for out in the surf
The old man used to make his own lures (feathered) with a fairly substantial hook

Use to make all my own zeddys,spoons and ticers out of hex brass.Power houses use to have a lot of copper earth strapping left over to make zeddys out of.Get them plated in Timaru bottom of north street.
