Quick take
Ultralight weedless spoon for panfish and small trout in weeds, with minimal drag and easy casting.
The gold Johnson Silver Minnow is a 1-3/4 inch weedless spoon that weighs 1/8 ounce, with a metal weed guard set in front of its hook. The gold plating gives it a bright flash, and its side-to-side wobble works without rolling or twisting the line. It suits anglers who want a compact spoon for working weedy cover and the edges of bass water.

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.
