Weighing in at a substantial 3/5oz (17g), this Johnson Sprite is a classic piece of American angling history, manufactured back when production was still rooted in the USA. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the spoon features a sleek, elongated profile designed for casting and trolling applications. This specimen, identified by Product Code 2957, is presented in a combination of Copper and Silver finishes that offer distinct flash options for varying light levels. The convex side of the metal body is clearly stamped with the manufacturer and model name, showcasing the craftsmanship expected from vintage Johnson hardware. At the rear, a single hook is rigged with a split ring and features a vibrant orange plastic tail trailer, which provides a high-visibility contrast against the metallic body. This lure remains in 5/5 condition, appearing unused with its reflective surfaces and hardware fully intact.
