Museum Archive: Hydro Lures ​Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz White / Gray fishing spoon #14440

A distinctive white and gray scale pattern defines the lower half of this vintage surface lure, while the upper section remains a clean, solid white. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the Hydro Spoon was manufactured by Hydro Lures, a division of Plasform, Inc., out of Huntsville, Alabama. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, it features a specialized weedless construction designed for navigating thick moss beds, lily pads, and heavy structure. The technical documentation on the card notes that the body is weighted to land upright on every cast, facilitating a retrieve at the slowest of speeds without sinking or hanging up. This particular specimen, cataloged under product code 14440, is in unused condition and remains mounted on its original retail card. A white multi-strand skirt is attached to the rear, intended to provide visual texture while working across the surface.
