Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, 2/5oz Frog (Green / Yellow / Nickel) fishing spoon #0908

Frog-patterned finishes are a staple for lures designed to work heavy cover, and the green and yellow spotting on this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon retains a great deal of its original character. Weighing 2/5oz (12.5g), this particular Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, cataloged under product code 0908, represents a piece of mid-century American manufacturing from the Weezel Bait Co., a name later associated with the Eppinger brand. The 4/5 condition rating reflects a well-preserved surface with light wear that adds character to the piece. A sturdy wire weed guard is paired with a nickel-finished back to provide flash when moving through lily pads or submerged brush. The yellow spots feature dark, textured centers against a forest green body, creating a visual profile meant to mimic small amphibians.
