Vintage Johnson Sprite, 1/3oz fishing spoon #23345

A stamped logo reading 'JOHNSON'S SPRITE' marks the reverse side of this 2 1/4" (6cm) teardrop-shaped lure. Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), the gold-finished metal reflects the mid-century manufacturing standards of Johnson out of the USA. The surface displays a 3/5 rating, showing honest signs of use and surface character that any collector of working tackle would appreciate. Cataloged under product code 23345, the spoon features a hole at the lead end for a direct line tie or snap swivel. The trailing end is equipped with a heavy-duty split ring holding a sharp treble hook, designed for reliable hooksets during casting or trolling sessions.
