Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, 1oz Gold / Silver fishing spoon #6784

Plated with real precious metals for maximum underwater flash, this 1oz (28 g) spoon carries a distinctive Gold / Silver dual finish. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), this Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow is identified by product code 6784 and represents the original American-made quality preferred by collectors. The construction features a guarded single hook, a technical solution developed to allow for casting directly into heavy vegetation where predators hide. Its body is formed from a specific copper and zinc alloy, engineered to be thicker in the center to maintain an upright hook position during the retrieve. On the concave side, the clear "Made in USA" stamping remains perfectly legible, confirming its vintage origin. In terms of physical state, this lure is rated 5/5, showing an exceptionally clean surface on both the gold and silver plating. The weed guard is firm and correctly aligned, ensuring the lure remains functional for its intended use in dense cover.
