Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Bait FISH TRAP SPOON, 3/5oz Nickel fishing spoon #4157

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), this classic nickel-plated hardware from USA-based Weedless Bait is a sturdy example of mid-century utility. The FISH TRAP SPOON, designated as Product Code: 4157, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and features a streamlined teardrop profile specifically engineered for navigating through heavy aquatic cover. Its surface shows some light wear consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, though the metal remains bright and the single integrated hook is protected by a traditional wire weed guard. Two distinct rivets reinforce the wider tail end, securing the internal hook mount, while the narrow nose is finished with a clean line tie hole. This weedless spoon relies on its solid construction and reflective finish to perform in dense vegetation where standard lures would snag.
