Museum Archive: Weedless Barney Spoon, 1/4oz Red / White fishing spoon #4924

Red paint at the nose transitions into a solid white body on this 1/4 oz (7 g) metal spoon. Found in its original packaging from The Barney Fish Lure Co. of Kent, Ohio, this unused specimen remains in excellent condition. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure features a weedless single hook assembly complete with a white fiber trailer and a protective wire guard. The yellow header card identifies the manufacturer's historic location at 431 Gougler Avenue and lists this item under product code 4924. This specific 1/4 size model was designed for a variety of techniques including casting, trolling, and jigging in heavy cover. The original packaging preserves the vibrant colors and the integrity of the hardware for the collector.
