Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 3/5oz Yellow / Black fishing spoon #9468

Featuring a vibrant Yellow / Black scale pattern, this surface lure is a notable find from Hydro Lures' production in Huntsville, Alabama. Secured to its original card, this Weedless Hydro Spoon remains in unused condition. The 3" (7.5cm) body incorporates a distinct honeycomb texture on the sides, transitioning into a bright yellow top surface. According to the original packaging from Plasform, Inc., the design ensures it lands upright with every cast, intended for navigating thick cover like lily pads or heavy moss beds. Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), the specimen includes a yellow skirt at the rear and a wire weed guard protecting the hook. This specific item, identified by product code 9468, showcases the mid-century manufacturing standards of the American South. The backing card details that it is effective even at a slow retrieval speed, maintaining its position on the water's surface.
