Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, 2/5oz Brass fishing spoon #3237

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this brass-bodied weedless lure represents a significant piece of Ohio's tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), it features the clear "Weezel Bait Co." logo and weasel icon stamped directly into the metal. This specific specimen, product code 3237, dates back to the era before the company was acquired by Eppinger, preserving the original manufacturing style of the Weezel Bait Co. in the USA. A single hook is anchored to the concave side with a screw, detailed with red thread wrapping and a tuft of yellow feathers. To navigate through heavy vegetation, two thin wire weed guards extend from the line tie toward the hook point. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the spoon displays its brass finish cleanly, showing just light evidence of its time in a tackle box while maintaining tight hardware.
