Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon #3, 1/4oz nickel/red UV spinning lure #19934

Measuring 4" (10 cm) from the top swivel to the tail hook, the length of this specimen highlights why the Tee Spoon series remains a staple in veteran tackle boxes. Under product code 19934, this Luhr Jensen Tee Spoon #3 combines a classic nickel-plated blade with three distinct orange-red UV plastic "tees" stacked along the central shaft. These vibrant components were engineered by the USA-based manufacturer to provide a unique silhouette and color contrast, particularly effective in deeper or stained water. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure is balanced for precision casting or slow trolling for trout and steelhead. The nickel finish on the blade is stamped with the Luhr Jensen branding, a mark of quality from their long history of producing specialized West Coast hardware. Maintaining a strong 4/5 rating, the hardware remains bright and the plastic components show minimal wear from time in the water. The assembly is rounded out with a robust treble hook and a top-end swivel, designed to reduce line twist during long sessions on the lake.
