Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow, 1/4oz fishing spoon #20103

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this vintage Johnson Silver Minnow showcases a distinct scale-patterned finish transitioning from a warm copper-orange to a deep forest green. This 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, identified by product code 20103, represents a classic piece of American tackle history, manufactured in the USA. The design utilizes a unique forged shape that is thicker in the middle, engineered to facilitate a rocking motion through a 270-degree angle which keeps the single guarded hook upright. This construction allows for effective casting and retrieving through heavy cover where standard spoons would easily snag. The specimen remains unused in its original blister packaging, which is rated 5/5 for its clean and well-preserved state. The back of the card includes the original instructional text and the authentic manufacturing mark from Mankato, MN.
