Museum Archive: ​Luhr Jensen Hot Tail, 1/16oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #15664

A bright yellow feathered tail highlights the rear of this 1/16oz (1.8g) ultralight spinner, acting as a soft visual trigger. Luhr Jensen engineered the Hot Tail, identified by product code 15664, with a teardrop-shaped "Instant-Spin Blade" in a nickel finish designed for immediate rotation upon contact with the water. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the assembly includes a "Red Magic Flipper Tail" integrated into the plumage for added color contrast. This specimen was manufactured in Mexico using U.S. components, a standard for the brand's mid-90s output from Hood River, Oregon. Because the lure is unused, the metallic surfaces remain bright and the feathers are still tightly bound to the hook. The original packaging shows the specific regional code 2393-116-095, marking its production in September 1996.
