Finished in a solid black hue, this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon offers a high-contrast silhouette that stands out in murky water. This Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, identified by product code 11431, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and hails from the era when these lures were still crafted in the USA. The design utilizes a specialized copper and zinc alloy body that is thicker in the midsection, providing the weight necessary for accurate casting while maintaining an upright posture. A signature metal weed guard protects the single hook, allowing for efficient retrieves through lily pads or dense submerged vegetation. Presented in 5/5 condition, the hardware and finish are remarkably well-preserved. Anglers often find this dark color profile effective for low-light conditions or when targeting bass buried deep in the weeds where flash might be too aggressive. The integrated hook is sharp, and the line tie is solidly affixed, reflecting the durable American manufacturing quality of vintage Johnson tackle.
