Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Sprite, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #0729

Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), this classic spoon represents the original American-made heritage of the Johnson Sprite series before production shifted abroad. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure features a bright Nickel finish that remains highly reflective. Unlike contemporary versions, this specimen showcases the specific craftsmanship of a USA-manufactured piece, identified by product code 0729. A small red plastic attractor is mounted on the rear split ring, creating a sharp visual point of interest against the metallic body. The hardware consists of a treble hook paired with flexible pink rubber legs at the tail. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a very clean surface throughout its components.
