A scale-patterned finish featuring an orange spine that blends into green sides defines this particular 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen. This Johnson Silver Minnow, carrying product code 20201, is a vintage American-made lure preserved in its original packaging from Mankato, Minnesota. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the spoon is constructed from a specialized alloy that provides a specific rocking motion through a 35-degree angle, designed to keep the guarded hook pointed upward. This geometry allows the lure to navigate through thick weeds and lily pads without the need for a swivel. Because this is a condition 6 item, it is unused and maintains the crisp details of the factory finish. The nickel plating provides a bright flash that contrasts with the painted scale texture on the convex side. Its signature wire weed guard is a hallmark of the "Weedless Wonder" series, engineered to reach fish in heavy cover where standard spoons would snag.
