Museum Archive: Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon, 2/5oz Frog fishing spoon #11661

A deep forest green base serves as the canvas for the iconic Frog pattern, which uses yellow-bordered dark spots to create a high-contrast visual for bass hiding in vegetation. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this Weezel Rex Weedless Spoon remains in unused condition, having been preserved remarkably well within its original clear plastic case. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) metal blade features a distinctive single hook protected by a spring-steel weed guard, a design hallmark that established the Weezel Bait Co as a leader in heavy-cover fishing before the brand was eventually acquired by Eppinger. A dark green feather dressing is tied to the hook, adding a soft, natural texture to the hardware. Collectors will recognize the Product Code 11661 associated with this specific USA-made variant. The finish is remarkably clean, showing the high-quality craftsmanship of early American tackle production.
