Museum Archive: Johnson Sprite, 1/4oz Gold (24 Carat Gold Plated) fishing spoon #9995

A 24-carat gold plating gives this 2" (5cm) spoon a high-reflectivity finish, designed to maintain its luster across various water conditions. This Johnson Sprite, identified by product code 9995 (SKU 1062902), remains in unused condition and is still housed in its original orange and white card packaging. Weighing 1/4 oz (7g), the lure features a distinctive red plastic teaser tube on the treble hook, which serves as a visual focal point. Manufactured in the USA, the design includes a stamped metal body with a characteristic teardrop profile suitable for both casting and trolling techniques. The reverse of the packaging provides technical diagrams for the tube teaser attachment and lists trout, salmon, and redfish among the intended target species.
