Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Hot Tail, 1/8oz White spinning lure #17302

Weighing in at a nimble 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this classic Luhr Jensen spinner remains a staple for light-tackle enthusiasts targeting trout or panfish. The 2" (5 cm) body is built around an "Instan-Spin" willow blade, finished in a bright silver that catches light efficiently. A standout feature of this specific specimen is the Red Magic Flipper Tail—a small red plastic blade tucked within the white feathered dressing of the rear hook. Identified by product code 17302, the lure is unused and preserved in its original 1997-dated blister pack. The white color pattern is clean, and the hardware shows no signs of aging through the clear packaging. The card reflects the heritage of the Hood River, Oregon company, even noting its historical catalog offer on the reverse side.
