Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this Golden Crystal finished spoon represents a classic piece of American tackle history. Identified by product code 23944, the 2 3/4" (7cm) lure is engineered with a specialized copper and zinc alloy that is thicker in the center. This weight distribution allows for a consistent 270-degree rocking motion while ensuring the hook remains upright to avoid snags in heavy cover. Unlike modern iterations, this specimen was manufactured in the USA, maintaining the high-quality plating and construction standards synonymous with the Johnson name. The integrated weed guard remains firm, providing the necessary protection for casting directly into brush or lily pads. This particular lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5 for its clean, reflective surface. A silver-tone split ring is attached to the eyelet, ready for rigging with a trailer to enhance the profile of the presentation.
