Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow, 1/3oz gold fishing spoon #22395

Gold coloring on the spoon's body distinguishes this 1/3 oz (9 g) model from the more common silver variants. Identified as product code 22395, this Johnson Silver Minnow is crafted from a specialized copper and zinc alloy designed with a thicker midsection. This specific construction allows the lure to maintain a steady 270-degree rocking motion, keeping the single hook upright to minimize snags in heavy cover. Measuring 2" (5 cm), it retains the classic integrated weed guard that has made this model a staple for fishing through lily pads since its introduction in 1920. As an authentic USA-made piece, it represents the original production quality highly sought by vintage tackle collectors. The lure is in 4/5 condition, displaying clean surfaces and solid, reliable hardware. Its compact profile remains a top choice for targeting predatory fish in dense vegetation where other lures often foul.
