Museum Archive: Vintage Weezel bait Rex Spoon, 2/5oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #7070

Vibrant yellow and red paint transitions across the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body of this Rex Spoon, representing a period before Weezel Bait Co was acquired by Eppinger. Weighing 2/5 oz (12.5 g), the heavy-duty metal construction is stamped with the original manufacturer's logo and the model name directly into the yellow finish. This weedless design utilizes a single large hook dressed with bright yellow feathers, intended for fishing through thick vegetation. A thin wire guard protects the hook point, anchored near the line tie and secured by a prominent screw on the inner face. Identified by product code 7070, this USA-made specimen is rated a 4/5 in condition, showing some honest paint wear and loss primarily along the yellow section of the spoon. The hardware and assembly remain tight, reflecting the solid craftsmanship of vintage mid-century terminal tackle.
