Dual-wing stabilizers positioned just behind the line tie give the Weedless Weed Wing Jonny ONeils 1 its unmistakable profile. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the nickel-finished body was a breakthrough for Johnnie O'Neil when he introduced the design in 1957 in Akron, Ohio. This specimen measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length and features a single heavy-duty hook shielded by a springy wire guard to navigate snag-prone environments. Historical records indicate that after O'Neil secured his patent in 1962, production eventually transitioned to Harrison Industries in the mid-1960s. This specific piece, identified by product code 8274, showcases clear manufacturer stampings on the teardrop-shaped spoon body. The hardware remains tight and the reflective surfaces are bright and well-maintained, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5.
