Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow, 2/5oz gold fishing spoon #22535

Gold plating covers this 2/5 oz (12 g) casting spoon, offering a warm flash designed to reach deep into weedy cover. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the specimen features a specialized metal alloy body that is thicker in the middle to facilitate a stable rocking motion during the retrieve. The underside of the lure, identified by product code 22535, is stamped with the classic 'JOHNSON SILVER MINNOW' branding and original patent information from its USA production era. A single hook is permanently attached and shielded by a metal weed guard, a functional design element intended to keep the point clear of debris while the body rocks through a wide 270-degree angle. The gold finish on this vintage piece is well-preserved, showing a 4/5 condition rating that highlights its clean reflective surface.
