Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Johnson Silver Minnow UV, 3/4oz Orange / Green / Yellow / Nickel / UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #6237

A vibrant orange-to-yellow gradient covers the convex side of this spoon, accented by dark green vertical bars that create a classic high-visibility pattern. This specific 3/4oz (21g) specimen, designated with product code 6237, features the signature Johnson weedless design with a single hook protected by a sturdy metal wire guard. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure body is stamped with the brand name and reflects its heritage from the original American production lines. The thick copper and zinc alloy construction gives the body its characteristic weight, while the nickel-plated underside provides a bright flash. One of the standout features of this UV-specialized version is its reaction to ultraviolet light; when exposed, the central yellow section transforms into a brilliant neon green glow. This specimen remains in top-tier shape, with a finish and hardware quality warranting a 5/5 rating. It retains the original functionality intended by Louis Johnson back in 1920, designed to keep the hook upright while navigating through heavy vegetation without the need for a swivel to prevent line twist.
