Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow Weedless, Green/Orange, 1/4 oz (7 g), #24470

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this spoon displays a distinct green and orange scale pattern applied to its convex surface. Found in its original packaging, the lure is in unused 5/5 condition, representing a period when Johnson Lures were manufactured in the USA. The thick-centered metal body is engineered to keep the single hook upright during the retrieve, while the integrated wire guard allows for casting directly into lily pads and dense vegetation. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the stamped spoon creates a significant flash meant to mimic small forage fish. This specific item, Product Code 24470, avoids line twist through its inherent balance, eliminating the necessity for a swivel. The nickel plating provides a bright, white-toned reflection under various water conditions.
