Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz Gray Metallic / Black fishing spoon #5550

Gray Metallic and Black tones define the appearance of this 1/2 oz (14 g) weedless specialist, which remains in unused condition on its original card. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Weedless Hydro Spoon (product code 5550) was engineered by Hydro Lures, a division of Plasform, Inc., in Huntsville, Alabama. The physical construction combines a weighted spoon body with a thick black rubber skirt intended for navigation through heavy cover like lily pads or moss beds. Technical details on the packaging note that the lure is balanced to land upright with every cast, positioning the hook to avoid snags. This design allows for a steady retrieve at the slowest of speeds as the surface lure moves across thick vegetation.
