Quick take
A 3/4 oz weedless spoon with a 35-degree wobble and gold finish, designed to run clean through vegetation.
The Johnson Silver Minnow is a 2.75-inch, 3/4-ounce gold spoon with a wire weed guard over its single hook. That guard lets it be worked through grass, lily pads and reeds where open-hook spoons would foul. It is a classic choice for bass and pike anglers fishing heavy cover.
Best for
- Bass and pike in weedy lakes and rivers
- Casting and retrieving through lily pads
- Saltwater species around grass flats
Skip if
- You prefer finesse presentations
- You want a smaller lure for light tackle
Strengths
- Metal weed guard prevents snagging in heavy cover
- 35-degree wobble tracks straight without line twist
- Gold and brass finishes flash effectively in murky water
Trade-offs
- Heavier lure requires stronger rod and line
- Weed guard can reduce hook-up percentage
- 35-degree wobble is moderate, not as extreme as some spoons

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
