Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow Weedless, 2/5oz nickel fishing spoon #24122

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g) with a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), a copper-zinc alloy body forms the core of this vintage casting spoon. Carrying product code 24122, the specimen is engineered with a thicker center spine to ensure the single hook remains upright while navigating thick vegetation. This USA-manufactured piece features a nickel finish that provides a distinct flash to catch the eye of nearby predators. Unlike later mass-produced versions, this older model showcases original American craftsmanship and material quality. The integrated wire weed guard is still firm and the hook is sharp, leading to a solid 4/5 condition rating. Its design is particularly effective when tipped with a trailer, as the added drag won't spoil the intended rocking motion of the spoon. The finish is well-preserved, reflecting the durability of these early fishing tools intended for heavy cover.
