Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Hellion Fish Crystal , 2/5oz Crystal fishing spoon #9729

Stamped clearly on the copper-finished body is the classic 'TRADE HELLION FISH MARK' branding, identifying this vintage spoon. The Weedless Hellion Fish Crystal, product code 9729, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g). Its most striking feature is the centered 'Crystal' eye, a small inset glass gem that contrasts against the detailed scale pattern embossed into the metal. This American-made lure is built for navigating cover, featuring a sturdy weedless wire guard that protects the integrated single hook from snags. The spoon's deep curve is visible in profile, paired with a fish-tail silhouette and a heavy-duty split ring for line attachment. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing a clean, uniform finish across the metal body.
