Museum Archive: Vintage Weezel bait Rex Spoon, 2/5oz Nickel / Orange Feather fishing spoon #3352

A vibrant orange feather tail identifies this 2/5 oz (12.5g) weedless lure as a classic piece of American angling history. Stamped clearly into the polished 2 1/4" (5.5cm) nickel body is the Weezel logo, signifying this specimen was manufactured by the Weezel Bait Co. before the brand was acquired by Eppinger. The construction features a single hook secured with a bolt through the spoon's center, protected by a dual-wire weed guard designed for navigating heavy cover. This particular Rex Spoon, carrying product code 3352, maintains a condition rating of 5/5 with a mirror-like finish and intact thread-wrapped hackles. A robust split ring is attached at the narrow end to ensure a secure line connection during casting. The Nickel / Orange Feather color combination provides high contrast for varied light conditions.
