Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon, Silver, 3/4oz (21g), #25184

Genuine silver plating gives this 2 3/4" (7 cm) spoon a significantly brighter and whiter flash underwater than standard chrome or polished steel finishes. Stamped from a specialized copper and zinc alloy, the body is designed thicker in the center to maintain a steady wobble while keeping the hook pointed upward. This weight distribution ensures the lure stays upright during the retrieve, reducing line twist and allowing the metal weed guard to do its job effectively in heavy vegetation. During movement, the spoon oscillates through a 270-degree arc, casting reflections downward and to the sides where predators typically ambush their prey. At 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-duty version provides excellent casting distance and remains effective when tipped with a trailer. This particular Silver Minnow, identified by product code 25184, is an original USA-made specimen in 5/5 condition, representing the traditional manufacturing standards before production was moved abroad.
