Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22845

Stamped clearly on the back of this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon is the classic 'JOHNSON'S SPRITE' branding, a hallmark of mid-century American tackle manufacturing. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the polished gold finish provides a high-contrast reflective surface designed for visibility while casting or trolling. This particular specimen, identified by Product Code 22845, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright luster and sharp stampings. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, reflecting the reliable construction expected from USA-made Johnson lures. The teardrop body shape and weighted design are specifically engineered for distance when casting into the wind.
