Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this classic weedless spoon hails from Flint, Michigan, a testament to mid-century American lure-making. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Nickel-finished body is designed to navigate heavy cover where bass often hide. This specimen, carrying product code 11649, remains in its original vintage packaging from P.T. Tackle, once located at P.O. Box 7602. The lure is unused, preserved well behind the original plastic bubble despite some shelf wear on the cardboard backing. Field tester insights on the reverse side specifically note that 80% of strikes occur while the spoon is dropping, suggesting a lift-and-drop technique for the best results. It features a white rubber skirt intended to add bulk, which the manufacturer suggests reversing to change the profile. A single wire guard protects the hook, fulfilling its role as a specialized weedless tool for thick vegetation.
