Vintage Johnson Silver Minnow, Gold, 2/5 oz (12 g), Weedless, #25185

Plated in a brilliant gold finish, this classic spoon weighs 2/5 oz (12 g) and measures 2 1/4" (60 mm) in length. This specific specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition and represents the era of production in the USA. The spoon is stamped from a copper and zinc alloy, featuring a thicker cross-section through the center that maintains a stable 270-degree swing during retrieval. A fixed, weed-guarded hook is integrated into the body, designed to stay upright to navigate through heavy vegetation without snagging. The reflective surface creates a distinct flash directed downwards and to the sides, mimicking the visual signature of baitfish to predators attacking from below. Its design allows for effective use with a trailer like pork rind without dampening the intended movement. Catalogued under item #25185, the lure is a prime example of the original American-made tooling.
