Stamped with the "JOHNSON'S SPRITE" mark on the concave side, this nickel-finished spoon shows the quality manufacturing expected from a USA-made lure. This specific 1/3 oz (10 g) specimen, cataloged under product code 22291, measures exactly 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length. The high-polish nickel plating remains bright across the entire body, earning it a solid 5/5 condition rating for its remarkably preserved luster. Attached to the rear split ring is a distinctive red plastic teaser tab, positioned to provide a visual contrast alongside the dark-finished treble hook. Designed for casting or trolling, the spoon features a clean, teardrop profile and a simple forward attachment hole. Every detail, from the crisp lettering of the stamp to the integrity of the hardware, reflects the durable standards of Johnson's production.
