Museum Archive: Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, 3/16oz Green / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #6193

A striking green-and-orange honeycomb scale finish defines the face of this 3/16 oz (5 g) weedless spoon. Sized at 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the Johnson Weedless Silver Minnow (product code 6193) is a masterwork of functional design, featuring a guarded hook intended for heavy cover. This particular item is unused and remains preserved in its original vintage packaging. While the front boasts a warm gradient, the back utilizes a nickel plating designed to throw light as the lure performs its characteristic rocking motion through a wide 270-degree angle. This USA-made specimen reflects the high-quality construction anglers expected before production moved overseas, featuring a copper/zinc alloy body that is thicker in the middle to maintain its upright position during the retrieve.
