Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Bait Weedless Larson Bait Fishtrap , 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #9878

Polished nickel covers the entirety of this 2 1/4" (6cm) metal spoon, a classic finish chosen for the Weedless Larson Bait Fishtrap to provide maximum flash in various lighting conditions. Weighing in at 1/3oz (8.5g), this specialized casting tool from the Weedless Bait company features a distinctive profile designed to navigate through aquatic vegetation. The hardware setup includes a robust single hook protected by a spring-loaded wire weed guard, a hallmark of the Larson design which allows it to be retrieved through lily pads or brush without snagging. Registered under product code 9878, the lure showcases a sleek, stamped body with a deep concave interior that aids in its stability during a steady retrieve. The exterior finish remains bright and the mechanical components of the weed guard are fully intact, reflecting its well-preserved 5/5 condition. Anglers typically utilize this specimen for targeting bass or pike in thick cover where traditional exposed-hook lures would fail.
