Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Spirit Spoon, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #17518

Gold plating reflects light effectively on this classic teardrop-shaped casting spoon, a design that has proven its worth for decades. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Luhr Jensen Spirit Spoon (Product Code 17518) represents the reliable manufacturing standards of their USA-based production. The polished surface is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original mirror-like quality across the metal body. A red plastic attractor tab is attached to the rear split ring, sitting just above the treble hook to provide a visual strike point. Sturdy hardware, including a silver-tone hook and dual split rings, characterizes the build of this specific lure. The stamped metal body features a gentle taper toward the line-tie hole, which is cleanly punched for easy rigging.
