Museum Archive: Johnson Sprite, 1/4oz Copper fishing spoon #8994

Copper plating gives this 2" (5 cm) spoon a high-visibility sheen suitable for both saltwater and freshwater environments. This 1/4 oz (7 g) lure, identified by product code 8994, belongs to the era when Johnson production was strictly based in the USA. Secured within its original orange and white packaging, the specimen features a pink teaser tube over the hook, which is a signature element of the Sprite's hardware configuration. The card's reverse side details the rigging instructions for the teaser, highlighting the versatility of this classic design. Because the packaging has never been opened, the lure is unused and holds a condition rating of 6.
