Museum Archive: Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #13648

A polished gold finish provides the primary visual draw for this Johnson Sprite, a classic casting spoon that measures 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) in length. Weighed at 1 1/4 oz (35 g), the lure's heavy profile is a hallmark of the original production runs from the USA, distinguishing it from newer versions currently made elsewhere. The center of the spoon features a textured silver holographic tape insert, which adds a distinct multidimensional flash to the gold body. Recorded under Product Code 13648, this piece is equipped with a large treble hook and split rings that remain in excellent condition. A rating of 5/5 reflects the quality of the specimen, which retains its luster across the entire stamped surface.
