Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this specific Johnson Sprite represents a period when these versatile spoons were still manufactured at the Pure Fishing facility in Spirit Lake, USA. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) stamped metal body features a polished Copper finish, providing a warm, natural flash that contrasts well in various water clarities. As an unused specimen with a condition rating of 6, it remains sealed in its original yellow carded packaging. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook and a signature red teaser tab positioned at the split ring to provide a focused target for following fish. Most contemporary versions of this model are now produced in China, making this domestic-made item a noteworthy piece of angling history. This specific lure is logged under product code 9297.
