Museum Archive: Vintage ​Johnson Lujon Jig Lure, 2 1/2oz Silver fishing spoon #13779

Forged with a substantial weight of 2 1/2 oz (70g), this metal jig is a classic piece of American-made tackle from the Johnson brand. The polished Silver finish maintains a bright, reflective surface across its 4 1/2" (11.5cm) body, showcasing the durability of the original chrome-style plating. Stamped clearly into the metal is the "JOHNSON'S LUJON FORGED" identifier, an essential mark for collectors tracking product code 13779. The hardware configuration features heavy-duty split rings at both ends, with the trailing ring securing a large, sharp treble hook. Its tapered, curved profile is specifically engineered for vertical jigging and reaching depth in fast currents or heavy surf. This particular specimen is in excellent condition, warranting a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and well-preserved metalwork. The solid construction and streamlined shape allow for efficient movement through the water column when targeted at saltwater species.
