Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen ​Les Davis Hotrod, 1/4oz Brass fishing spoon #15476

Polished brass construction defines this classic spoon, which features the distinctive "HOT ROD" and "USA" stampings visible on its concave interior. Manufactured by Luhr Jensen under the Les Davis brand name (Product Code 15476), this specimen measures exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length. A notable design feature is the small circular insert embedded near the leading edge on the convex side, a hallmark of the Hotrod series designed to influence balance during casting. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7 g), it comes rigged with original-style hardware including a front barrel swivel and a sturdy treble hook attached via split rings. Maintaining a solid 4/5 condition, the metal surfaces show only light signs of age, preserving the integrity of the original brass finish. This American-made lure represents a functional piece of angling history, designed for versatility in various water conditions.
