Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Splinter, 3/16oz Gold fishing spoon #2981

Three sharp points on the silver-toned treble hook are ready for use, complementing the slender 1 1/4" (3cm) metal body of the Johnson Splinter. Produced in the USA, the spoon features a polished Gold finish that reflects light intensely on its curved outer surface. The inner concave side presents a slightly more subdued, warm metallic tone. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), the lure is equipped with sturdy split rings at both ends for secure line attachment and hook connectivity. Identification code 2981 marks this specific specimen, which is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean and well-maintained surface. Its narrow, aerodynamic profile is intended for casting and vertical jigging applications. Hardware components remain bright, and the overall construction reflects the reliable craftsmanship associated with the Johnson brand.
