Polished gold plating covers the thick copper alloy body of this classic 2 3/4" (7cm) spoon, providing a high-visibility flash that stands out in stained water. This specific Johnson Silver Minnow, identified by Product Code 21347, features the legendary weedless architecture Louis Johnson first introduced in 1920. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing the quality of vintage American manufacturing. The underside is clearly stamped with the maker's mark, while the integrated single hook is protected by a sturdy wire weed guard designed to deflect vegetation. Its unique construction is thicker in the center, ensuring the lure maintains a hook-up orientation. This gold-finished model is especially effective when paired with a trailer, as the added bulk doesn't compromise the hardware's intended motion through heavy lily pads or reeds.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
