Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 3/5oz Green fishing spoon #11152

Green coloring paired with a vibrant yellow and green skirt makes this 3/5 oz (17 g) specimen stand out to any collector of vintage southern tackle. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), the Weedless Hydro Spoon was engineered by the Hydro Lures division of Plasform, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama. Labeled with product code 11152, the lure is unused and remains on its original retail card in 5/5 condition. Its design is centered around a weighted body that ensures it lands upright after every cast, a feature specifically intended to keep the hook from snagging in dense vegetation. According to the original packaging, the optimal technique involves a very slow retrieve through moss beds, lily pads, or heavy structure. The construction allows for working through thick cover where standard spoons might fail.
