Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz White / Red / Green fishing spoon #9467

Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Alabama-made surface lure features a distinct three-color finish of white, red, and green. Hydro Lures, a division of Plasform, Inc. based in Huntsville, developed the Weedless Hydro Spoon with a weighted body shape intended to land upright on every cast. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure is designed for navigating thick vegetation like lily pads and grass where standard spoons might snag. This specimen, identified by Product Code 9467, is unused and still attached to its original factory card. The backing provides specific fishing instructions, highlighting its effectiveness at slow speeds and its ability to remain on the surface without sinking. A multi-strand rubber skirt in white and green is attached to the rear to provide a larger profile during the retrieve. The manufacturing details on the card point to its origins at 4212 E. Schrimsher Lane in the USA.
