Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz yellow fishing spoon #20160

Yellow finishes like the one on this 3" (7.5 cm) specimen were designed for high visibility when working through the thickest cover. Produced by Hydro Lures, a division of Plasform, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama, this Hydro Spoon (Product Code 20160) is a specialized tool for navigating moss beds, lily pads, and heavy grass. This specific lure remains unused, still attached to its original card. The 1/2 oz (14 g) body is engineered to land upright with every cast, keeping the heavy-duty hook protected from snags while sitting on the surface. Technical notes on the packaging specify that the lure can be retrieved at the slowest of speeds without sinking or hanging up, making it effective for pulling over thick mats. The construction includes a translucent body with a subtle pink accent at the nose and a multi-strand white and yellow skirt.
