Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, 1/2oz Black / Red fishing spoon #7071

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the spoon's specific weight distribution helps it navigate through heavy cover without snagging. This Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow, product code 7071, is a 1/2oz (14g) lure that utilizes a copper and zinc alloy body, plated with genuine silver for a distinct underwater flash. The Black/Red color combination consists of a dark, glittered base accented by a diagonal red prismatic honeycomb tape. It comes equipped with a silver-glittered black curly tail trailer, enhancing the overall profile of the silver-plated hardware. As a vintage item manufactured in the USA, it represents the traditional quality standards of the brand's earlier production runs. The lure is in well-preserved 4/5 condition, showing only minor signs of its age while the guarded hook remains fully functional for weedless applications.
