Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow, 3/4oz black fishing spoon #22634

A matte black finish coats this 3/4oz (21g) spoon, offering a subtle alternative to the traditional bright silver finishes of the era. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this Johnson Silver Minnow, identified by product code 22634, is an authentic USA-made model from the period before production moved overseas. The design centers around a specific alloy body that is thicker in the middle to facilitate a consistent rocking motion through the water. To handle heavy cover, Louis Johnson’s original concept from 1920 includes a built-in wire weed guard protecting the single hook. The interior of the spoon shows the stamped manufacturer details and some minor surface wear consistent with its 4/5 condition rating.
