Quick take
Classic weedless spoon with a steady wobble and light flashing action.
The Johnson Silver Minnow is a classic 3/4 oz casting spoon, about 2.75 inches long, with a metal guard over the hook that helps it slip through weeds and cover. Its brass blade rocks side to side with a steady wobble without twisting your line, and the silver plating throws a bright flash. It suits anglers working weedy shallows for bass, pike and walleye.

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.
