Museum Archive: Heddon Weedless Original Moss Boss, 1/2oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #8452

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, a broad Chartreuse body defines the profile of the Weedless Original Moss Boss. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure features a distinct red accent at the nose and a single upturned hook shielded by the body's geometry. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 8452, remains unused in its original blister packaging. The construction utilizes a wide, spoon-like underside intended for sliding over heavy surface vegetation, complemented by a long, green rubber skirt that trails from the rear. Information on the back of the packaging highlights the manufacturer's origins in Michigan, noting over 120 years of production history since James Heddon's first designs.
