Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz White / Gray / Red fishing spoon #3039

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) provides the necessary mass for this Hydro Spoon to be cast effectively into dense surface cover. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a white body decorated with a gray honeycomb scale pattern and a red nose. This specimen, identified by product code 3039, was produced by Hydro Lures of Huntsville, Alabama, then a division of Plasform, Inc. It is designed to land upright on every cast, facilitating a weedless retrieve through lily pads and moss beds. The lure is unused and remains attached to its original 'Hydro Presents' display card. A white rubber skirt serves as a trailer, designed to maintain presence even at the slow retrieve speeds recommended on the packaging. Technical details on the card indicate the lure's ability to stay on the surface without sinking or hanging up, regardless of how slowly it is worked across heavy structure.
