Museum Archive: Hydro Lures ​Weedless Hydro Spoon, 2/5oz Black / Yellow fishing spoon #15142

Featuring a scale-patterned yellow belly that contrasts with its dark olive back, this surface lure is a prime example of mid-century American tackle innovation. Labeled with Product Code 15142, the Weedless Hydro Spoon by Hydro Lures weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. This unused specimen remains attached to its original presentation backing card, which identifies it as an optimal tool for navigating heavy vegetation. The design functions as a spoon-wobbler hybrid, specifically weighted to ensure the single hook always orientates upward to avoid snags. A multi-strand yellow rubber skirt is secured at the rear, providing a trailing visual element against the solid body. This specific unit showcases the manufacturing standards of its USA origin, from the glossy top finish to the textured scaling on the underside.
