Museum Archive: Hydro Lures Weedless Hydro Spoon, 3/5oz Yellow fishing spoon #9684

A vibrant Yellow finish with a faint scale texture covers the 3" (7.5cm) body of this vintage American surface lure. Engineered to always land with the hook facing upward, this 3/5oz (17g) hybrid design functions as a specialized weedless spoon. Collectors will note that product code 9684 is preserved in unused condition, still attached to its original Hydro Lures card. The hardware includes a sturdy single hook shielded by the lure's teardrop form, complemented by a trailing skirt of yellow and white rubber strands. Primarily intended for slow-speed surface work, the construction focuses on navigating thick lily pads or heavy vegetation where standard spoons typically snag. The original cardboard packaging remains clean and bright, emphasizing the well-preserved state of this specific specimen.
