Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1/3oz gold fishing spoon #22860

Gold plating provides a high-visibility flash across the 2 1/4" (6 cm) teardrop-shaped body of this vintage spoon. At 1/3 oz (10 g), this casting spoon offers substantial weight for its size, typical of mid-century American manufacturing from Johnson in the USA. This particular Johnson Sprite, listed under product code 22860, features a unique hardware setup including a treble hook dressed with a vibrant pink rubber skirt. A small red plastic teaser blade is also attached to the rear split ring, adding a secondary point of visual interest against the metallic gold finish. The surface of the spoon shows minimal signs of handling, maintaining a bright reflective quality that earns it a 4/5 condition rating. The stamp on the underside identifies its origin and model, distinguishing it as a well-preserved piece of angling history.
