Vibrant green scale-patterned prism inserts provide a sharp contrast against the nickel-plated body of this Olson Minnow. This 1oz (31g) slab-style spoon from Herter's was manufactured in Japan and serves as a classic example of mid-century weedless hardware. Measuring 4" (10cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a stout, integrated single hook and a wire weed guard designed for navigating through dense lily pads or timber. The reverse side shows the clean, stamped metal common to the 7160 product code series. Its condition is a crisp 5/5, with the hardware and finish remaining remarkably well-preserved. The dense weight allows anglers to reach distant pockets in heavy cover that lighter spoons simply can't reach.
