Bill RiversJohnson Silver Minnow |  |
| After 77 years, most lures are just a fading memory, but not the Silver Minnow which is now found in more tackle boxes than ever before ! This is no ordinary weedless lure; this one works ! Crank or rip it through thick hydrilla, cabbage grass or milfoil. The Weedless Wonder comes out clean and weed-free, usually with something big chasing it. | |
| The Silver Minnow is a genuine Johnson Spoon. Fish can't resist its patented 35-degree wobble. It rocks back and forth, but will not roll or twist line. Plated with pure silver or 24-kt gold, the Johnson Silver Minnow produces a brighter, more visible flash than either chrome or brass spoons. One of the reasons that the Silver Minnow has been around so long is that it works well for so many sportfish species. From the Far North to the Deep South, the Silver Minnow has been producing great catchess and trophies for longer than most of us can remember. |  |
 | The smaller sizes are great for trout and smallmouth bass; the mid sizes have been some of the best largemouth bass lures of all time. These weedless wonders allow anglers to fish the slop and work pockets where the trophy fish hide. The largest Silver Minnows are as potent as any oversized lure for exciting big pike and bass action. The wide range of Silver Minnow colors and patterns extends its versatility to virtually any fishing situation or species.
|
| The Johnson Silver Minnow is thicker in the middle than at the edges. This creates its enticing wobble. No other spoon is built like this, which is why no other lure has worked so well for so long. | |
