Real silver plating gives the 2 3/4" (7 cm) spoon a distinctively bright, white flash that modern chrome finishes simply can't replicate. This Johnson Silver Minnow Weedless (Product Code 24375) tips the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), providing the heft needed for long casts into heavy cover. Louis Johnson’s 1920 design utilized a copper and zinc alloy, specifically engineered with a thicker center to ensure the guarded hook remains upright during its retrieve. Unlike newer versions manufactured abroad, this specific specimen hails from the original USA production era, a detail highly valued by collectors of vintage American tackle. The silver finish is in exceptional shape, holding a 5/5 condition rating. The integrated wire weed guard is designed to deflect lily pads and reeds, while the spoon's specific geometry creates a rocking motion through a 270-degree angle. For anglers looking to increase its profile, the single hook accommodates a trailer, such as pork rind, without compromising the intended balance.
