Museum Archive: Hydro Lures ​Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz Green / Brown fishing spoon #14439

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this teardrop-shaped surface lure features a distinct two-tone brown and green finish designed for navigation through heavy cover. This specimen is unused and remains attached to its original card, representing a well-preserved piece of Alabama angling history. The back of the package for product code 14439 explains that the design is engineered to land upright on every cast to ensure the hook remains clear of debris. This weedless construction by Hydro Lures, a division of Plasform, Inc. out of Huntsville, is intended for a slow retrieve through lily pads and thick grass without sinking. The weighted 1/2 oz (14 g) body is complemented by a vibrant chartreuse and green rubber skirt at the rear. According to the original manufacturer's notes, the lure remains effective at slow speeds, maintaining surface action even in the thickest moss beds.
