Vintage Red Abalone Pearl Minnow​, 3/32oz Pearl fishing spoon #22318

At a mere 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the delicate weight of this Red Abalone Pearl Minnow reflects its design for light-line presentations and subtle angling. This specific rarity, cataloged as product code 22318, measures 1 1/4" (3 cm) and showcases a body carved from natural pearl with the characteristic iridescent glow collectors look for. Two small metal rivets are visible on the side, securing the shell material to its frame, while the tail is dressed with a thick, mustard-yellow feather cluster that conceals the hook. The front hardware is rigged with a darkened metal split ring and a vintage barrel swivel, suggesting its readiness for use with fine tackle. Preserved in excellent condition, this specimen is rated 5/5, showing the original luster of the shell without chips or fading. Produced in the USA, the lure represents the mid-century craftsmanship of utilizing organic materials to mimic the natural flash of baitfish.
