Spoons Fishing Tackle

Do you know any tackle dealer's that still carry the Rapala Spoon?
I looked at Cabelas/Bass Pro online and they didn't seem to have any.
Am I S.O.L.?
It's gotten "weedier" than a teenager at a Grateful Dead concert around my fav lake!
Suggestion's on good "wobble", weedless spoon's I can put a trailer on? No bigger than 1/4 OZ. I also like the ones that have a "fish image".
Also, When YOU approach matted weeds, (like Hydrilla), what's your fav technique? (FYI: They are "busting" the tops of the weeds early & late in the day. I'm guessin' they are chasing shad/shiner's. )
Thanks guy's!
They are discontinued but you can still find them here:

Also might want to try these baits on top. Rat, weightless Strike King 3X Lizard (floats), Yum buzzfrog, Zoom horny toad. My pond has the same growth problem and a nice scummy froth on top. The weightless lizard has been working well though.
Edit:
If you are an old fart that's been into fishing ever since your grand daddy let you take a peek into his tackle box where you probably saw one of these spoons...(and yes they still produce nice catches over weedbeds, in hydrilla, or on the surface with a plastic trailer...get you some) then you know already they work well. Stamina Quality Components has a generic version available.

Another classic besides the Johnson Silver Minnow is the Strike King Timber King spoon. They must be out of production as well cause I can't find them (not even on Ebay). Maybe you can locate a Mepps dealer that has some Timber Doodles (great name huh?) as those also work well in the situation you described.

Just like Jimmy Houston's theme song....Caught me a big one then I let it goooooooooo.
