Catching bass on a lure designed 98 years ago - Johnson Silver Minnow for Bass!!!

I have caught hundreds of redfish on a Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon but I wanted to get out and target bass with them in North Ga. It wasn't easy but I think this a versatile lure that I will put back in my bass tackle box.

Your video inspired me to buy a couple of these. Absolutely wacking them with this lure. Who knew?

Love it. I have a few. I love lures that have been around 50+ years. If they still make them, it means they work!

I just purchased a few Johnson spoons for Mexico…. I needed a lure that I can fish in shallow rocks for snapper. I’ll be putting a trailer ( fluke &/or keitech ) trailer on it. Should do the trick🎣

Threw this bait back in the 70's. Still works. Very Cool

I like to use this instead of a frog sometimes. Just put a chunk or grub on the hook and drag it over the mat or lilies. I'll let it drop into holes and off the edge of the grass. It gives you another dimension that the frog doesn't have because the frog floats.

I know someone who might move to canton…. What area/subdivision are they building new affordable homes that you would recommend?
Thx
I like your bassing videos….

A Johnson silver minnow will NOT twist your line... The swivel is hurting your action by allowing the spoon to spin while adding more weight in front of the line tie. Next time, try a simple snap (no swivel) or tie on directly for better wobble with no twist.

I'm not using a swivel.
