Museum Archive: Heddon Weedless Original Moss Boss, 1/3oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #9119

Chartreuse coloring dominates this 1/3 oz (9 g) specimen, accented by a bold red tip at the nose. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the Weedless Original Moss Boss (Product Code 9119) features a curved, spoon-like body designed for sliding effortlessly over thick surface vegetation. A significant characteristic of this particular Heddon model is its phosphorescent finish, which emits a bright green glow under low-light conditions to increase visibility in murky water or during dawn and dusk. The lure is rigged with a single large hook and a dense green rubber skirt that acts as a weed guard, allowing for retrieves through dense lily pads and matted moss. This American-made lure is unused and remains in its original vintage packaging, which has protected the vibrant factory paint and the elasticity of the rubber strands. The construction emphasizes a high-riding profile to prevent snags while navigating heavy cover.
