Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Splinter, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #4092

Weighing in at a nimble 1/8oz (3.5g), this slim-profile spoon exemplifies the classic American tackle design Johnson is known for. The Nickel finish provides a bright, high-contrast surface across its 1 1/2" (3.5cm) body, making it a standout in any vintage collection. Identified by product code 4092, this specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its original luster and smooth metallic texture. The hardware setup includes two split rings and a sharp treble hook, securely attached to the rear of the tapered body. Originally produced in the USA, the Splinter's elongated shape and solid construction are specifically tailored for precise casting and light-tackle presentations. The curvature of the metal is clean and uniform, highlighting the quality control of early Johnson manufacturing.
