Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 1/2oz Black / Green fishing spoon #9668

A substantial 1/2oz (14g) weight gives this Weedless Hydro Spoon by Hydro Lures the necessary heft for accurate casting into the thickest vegetation. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen features a striking Black / Green finish, specifically a dark back transitioning into a vibrant yellow honeycomb pattern on the lower body. The design, originating from Huntsville, Alabama under the manufacturer Hydro Lures (a division of Plasform, Inc.), is technically engineered to land upright on every cast to maintain its weedless integrity. This particular lure, identified by product code 9668, remains in unused condition and includes its original carding. A vibrant yellow rubber skirt with contrasting black strands is secured at the rear to provide visual texture as it works across lily pads or grass beds. Designed as a surface lure, its construction allows for a slow retrieve without sinking, making it a specialized tool for heavy structure.
