Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow Weedless, 2/5oz silver fishing spoon #24129

Real silver plating gives the Johnson Silver Minnow Weedless a distinctively bright flash that outshines standard chrome or polished steel. Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this specimen is crafted from a specific copper/zinc alloy that is noticeably thicker in the center than at the edges. The silver finish on this 2/5 oz (12 g) spoon shows light signs of its heritage with minor surface spotting, resulting in a well-preserved 4/5 condition rating. Louis Johnson’s 1920 design is fully realized here with the integrated single hook protected by a sturdy metal weed guard, engineered for retrieves through heavy cover. The back of the spoon features the characteristic stamping including the patent details, identifying it as an authentic American-made piece under product code 24129. Because the weight is concentrated in the middle, the lure maintains a consistent orientation during the retrieve, allowing the rocking motion to swing through a 270-degree angle while keeping the hook pointed upward.
