Plated with real silver for a brilliant underwater flash, this vintage 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen is a classic example of American tackle history. Identified by product code 7548, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Johnson Weedless Silver Minnow stands out with its factory-equipped spinner blade and silver-beaded wire guard. The spoon itself is cast from a copper and zinc alloy, intentionally designed to be thicker in the center. This specific weight distribution enables a rocking motion that covers a 270-degree angle, directing reflections downward and to the sides where predators typically strike. The integrated weed guard makes it a specialized tool for navigating heavy vegetation without snagging. This lure is unused and presented in its original yellow blister pack, signifying its origin as a USA-made production piece.
