Museum Archive: Vintage Weezel bait Rex Spoon, 2/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #3673

Gleaming nickel plating covers the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body of this vintage weedless spoon. Weighing 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this Rex Spoon is a genuine Weezel Bait Co original, dating back to the period before Eppinger took over production. The stamped logo, featuring a fish silhouette and the "Rex Spoon" name, remains crisp on the metal surface. Cataloged under product code 3673, the design includes a dedicated wire weed-guard and a vibrant bundle of red feathers tied to the hook. Finding one in 5/5 condition is a treat for any collector, as the finish and the feathered tail have been preserved with remarkable clarity. This particular model reflects the early innovation of American weedless lure design.
