Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Rapala Minnow Spoon, 1/3oz Light Blue Metallic fishing spoon #3476

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the body of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Weedless Rapala Minnow Spoon showcases the meticulous craftsmanship expected from its Finnish origins. The Light Blue Metallic finish transitions into a bright silver belly, accented by a distinct yellow eye with a black pupil and a delicate red gill mark near the head. This specific specimen, bearing product code 3476, features a single integrated hook protected by a sturdy wire guard designed for navigating heavy cover and submerged vegetation. Its condition is rated a solid 5/5, maintaining the original luster and crisp detail of the scale stamping on the dorsal side. The construction combines the flash of a traditional spoon with the baitfish profile of a minnow, anchored by a simple line tie at the nose and a robust, weedless hardware setup.
