Weighing 3/4 oz (21g), this vintage spoon exhibits the high-luster Nickel finish characteristic of the legacy "Big Water Versatility" line. The 2 3/4" (7cm) body is stamped with the brand’s hallmark and maintains its original factory shine. As an unused specimen with a condition rating of 6, this Johnson Sprite, cataloged under product code 8450, remains secured in its original yellow and white blister pack. This particular lure was manufactured in the USA, a significant detail for collectors noting that modern production for this model has since moved to China. A translucent red plastic attractor tag is rigged to the rear treble hook, providing a secondary visual focus point against the silver-colored metal. The packaging on the reverse side includes original rigging diagrams for an optional teaser tube, highlighting the lure's construction for various casting and trolling applications.
