Museum Archive: Heddon Weedless Original Moss Boss, 1/3oz Brown fishing spoon #8479

Weighing 1/3oz (9g), this spoon-style weedless lure is a specialized tool for navigating heavy surface cover. Heddon designed the Original Moss Boss with a flat, gliding profile specifically to slide over dense mats of vegetation where standard treble-hook lures would snag. This specific specimen features a deep Brown finish with a subtle scale pattern and a high-visibility red tip, complemented by a substantial black rubber skirt for added visual profile. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure is identified by product code 8479. As it carries a condition rating of 6, the lure is unused and remains preserved in its original blister pack. The single upturned hook is integrated into the body design, ensuring it stays clear of debris while remaining ready for a strike. The packaging reflects Heddon's heritage in the industry, noting that this model was designed and quality-tested in the USA.
