Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this silver-toned spoon represents a classic era of American tackle manufacturing. Stamped clearly into the polished metal is the "JOHNSON'S SPRITE" name, a hallmark of quality from when these lures were still produced in the USA. Modern versions of this design are now manufactured in China, which adds a layer of heritage to this specific domestic specimen. The Nickel finish is exceptionally well-preserved and maintains a bright, mirror-like quality, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), the lure is equipped with a sturdy treble hook and a strong split ring, built for reliable casting or trolling. This specimen, identified by product code 2205, showcases the precise stamping and balanced construction that Johnson collectors specifically look for.
