Museum Archive: Weedless Hellion Fish Crystal, 2/5oz Crystal / Copper fishing spoon #5275

Copper-toned scales catch the light across the hammered surface of this 2 3/4" (7 cm) metal body. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), the weedless lure features a distinct fish silhouette, complete with the stamped manufacturer's name on the face. Original packaging details on the included insert card place its origin in East Detroit, Mich, under the Hellion Lure Products banner. The Crystal/Copper colorway is paired with a single, guarded hook held in place by a center-set screw, a design intended for pulling through thick vegetation. This unused specimen, cataloged as product code 5275, shows clean hardware and a bright finish from the nose split ring down to the sharpened hook point.
