Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, 1oz Copper / Silver fishing spoon #6432

Copper tones define the exterior of this vintage spoon, which measures 3 1/2" (9cm) in length. Tipping the scales at 1oz (28g), the heavy alloy construction is engineered to sink through the water column efficiently for deep-water presentation. The reverse side is clearly stamped with 'JOHNSON'S SILVER MINNOW' into the silver plating, identifying it as the classic product code 6432 design. An integrated wire weed guard protects the heavy-duty single hook, specifically designed for casting into dense lily pads and submerged brush. Genuine silver plating on the concave surface ensures a specific white flash that provides higher visibility at depth compared to modern chrome alternatives. This particular specimen is in unused condition, earning a rating of 5/5 for its preserved luster. The soldering at the line tie is clean and robust, reflecting the high standards of vintage American production.
