Museum Archive: Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, 2/5oz Nickel fishing spoon #11646

Nickel plating defines the aesthetic of this Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, a 2/5oz (12.5g) casting lure designed for heavy vegetation. Produced by the Weezel Bait Co. in the USA before Eppinger took over production, this specimen represents a specific era in tackle manufacturing. Stamped directly onto the metal, the branding is clear and sharp. At 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the spoon features a robust wire weed guard to protect the hook point. Black feathers adorn the rear, providing a distinct visual profile that complements the bright nickel finish. Product code 11646 identifies this unused item, which remains in its original clear display box with the vintage blue backing. The metal and hardware show no signs of age or wear.
