Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz White / Red / Green fishing spoon #5833

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vintage Alabama-made surface lure features a distinct white body highlighted by a green scale pattern and a red head accent. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Hydro Spoon (Product Code 5833) was engineered by the Division of Plasform, Inc. to be a specialized tool for navigating thick moss and lily pads. The design incorporates a weighted belly that ensures the hook lands upright, maintaining its status as a weedless surface lure during slow retrieves. This specimen is unused and remains on its original retail carding, showcasing the vibrant green and white vinyl skirt attached to the rear. Information on the back of the packaging highlights its specific utility in heavy structure across Huntsville, Alabama's fishing grounds.
