Nickel plating provides a brilliant shine to this 2 1/4" (6 cm) vintage spoon, which is clearly stamped with the Johnnie O’Neil Weed Wing name and its USA origin. Identified by product code 12154, this 2/5oz (12 g) lure features the distinctive wing-like body shape that Johnnie O’Neil first brought to life in Akron, Ohio, back in 1957. The integrated single hook is paired with a metal wire guard intended for casting into heavy cover where standard lures might snag. Looking at the condition, it rates a 5/5, with the metallic finish remaining remarkably clean and free of significant wear. This specific model predates the mid-1960s sale of the company to Harrison Industries, making it a true Ohio-made original from the period just after O'Neil secured his 1962 patent.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
