Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Splinter, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #2666

Nickel plating provides a classic high-flash finish on this vintage lure, identified by product code 2666. Weighing 3/16oz (4.5g), the slender 1 1/4" (3cm) body is crafted for light-tackle casting applications. Produced by Johnson in the USA, the design consists of a simple stamped metal spoon with a single line-tie hole at the head. A split ring at the rear connects to a silver-tone treble hook, providing reliable hardware for smaller species. Maintained in 5/5 condition, the reflective surface remains exceptionally bright across the entire curved profile. The construction reflects the straightforward utility typical of mid-century American spoon manufacturing.
