Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22509

Stamping the name "JOHNSON'S SPRITE" clearly into the metal identifies this 2" (5 cm) spoon as a staple of mid-century American tackle boxes. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the gold-colored body features a slender, elongated teardrop shape engineered for efficient casting. This specimen, identified by product code 22509, shows visible signs of use and age across its metallic surface, consistent with a 3/5 condition rating. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is equipped with a bronzed treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the rear. The reflective gold finish is designed to provide high visibility in various water clarities, while the single line-tie hole at the leading edge remains clean and functional for direct rigging.
