Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #4510

Yellow and red hues cover the body of this 1/2 oz (14 g) surface lure, a color choice specifically tailored for visibility above dense vegetation. Produced by Hydro Lures in Huntsville, Alabama, under product code 4510, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) specimen represents a unique era of weedless design. The body shape functions as a hybrid spoon and wobbler, weighted specifically to ensure it lands upright with every cast to keep the hook clear of debris. This particular specimen is unused, maintaining its original factory finish and the integrity of the white tail assembly. Designed as an "Optimal Weedless" surface lure, it was marketed for fishing across the thickest cover, including moss beds and lily pads, where a slow retrieve is essential. The original carding provides a glimpse into the history of Plasform, Inc., the parent company behind these vintage Alabama-made lures.
