Museum Archive: Vintage Captain Action Weedless Capt Action 2, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #4292

Nickel plating covers the entire 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body of this American-made spoon, providing a high-visibility flash for targeting fish in thick cover. Tipping the scales at 3/16oz (4.5g), this Captain Action piece features a specialized weedless design with a single hook guarded by a spring-tensioned wire to navigate through vegetation. Identified by product code 4292, this Weedless Capt Action 2 showcases the practical engineering of mid-century USA lures, utilizing a central screw and rivet to secure the internal hardware. The surface of this specimen is exceptionally well-preserved, earning a 5/5 rating for its bright, mirror-like finish and lack of significant wear. A barrel swivel is attached to the nose ring, ready for a direct tie to help manage line twist during casting sessions.
