Polished to a bright Nickel finish, this 1/3 oz (8.5 g) weedless spoon represents a classic design from the mid-century Herter's catalog. Manufactured in Japan, this specific Herter's Olson Minnow, Product Code 3167, showcases the high-quality plating and construction standards the brand sourced from overseas. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive elongated leaf shape specifically engineered to navigate through lily pads and heavy cover. The single hook is protected by a long, integrated wire weed guard that runs from the nose eyelet back to the hook point. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a reflective, mirror-like surface across the entire body. The line tie eyelet is securely welded at the nose, ensuring structural integrity when pulling through thick vegetation.
