Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Rapala Minnow Spoon, 1/3oz Light Blue Metallic fishing spoon #5665

Light Blue Metallic paint covers the spine of this spoon, blending into a scaled pattern that is synonymous with Finnish lure design. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), the Weedless Rapala Minnow Spoon features a distinctive yellow eye with a black pupil, providing a clear focal point against the shimmering sides. This 1/3oz (10g) specimen, cataloged under product code 5665, utilizes a single fixed hook shielded by a metal weed guard to navigate through heavy vegetation. Rated at 5/5, the finish is remarkably clean, showing a high-quality reflection on the inner silver-toned surface of the spoon. The transition of the blue hue into the pale belly is seamless, capturing the look of a small baitfish common in Nordic waters.
