Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this classic spoon is a heavy-duty specimen built for punching through thick vegetation. The 4" (10cm) silver-plated body shows the characteristic luster of real silver, providing a distinct, bright flash favored by anglers since Louis Johnson first designed the lure in 1920 to tackle weedy environments. This specific piece, identified by product code 13667, features a construction of copper and zinc alloy, thicker in the midsection to facilitate a steady rocking motion that keeps the single hook upright. The integrated wire weed guard is a hallmark of the design, intended to prevent snags in heavy cover while maintaining enough flexibility for a clean hookset. Stamped with the manufacturer's mark, the silver finish is well-preserved, reflecting light at wide angles to reach fish attacking from below. This American-made vintage lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing the robust build quality of the original production runs.
