Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g), this specialized trolling spoon is designed to perform in the upper water columns of lakes and ponds. Identified as product code 16566, the Luhr Jensen Needlefish 1 UV showcases a vibrant orange finish that transforms under UV light to provide high visibility in deep or murky water. The condition of this specimen is a pristine 5/5, remaining unused and ready for the water. Its slim 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) body is paired with a single, sharp hook mounted on a sturdy split ring, a configuration Luhr Jensen developed to maximize hook-up ratios while minimizing harm to the fish. When trolled at speeds near 1.5 miles per hour, the thin metal generates a sharply fluttering wobble. Because of its light construction, this spoon is specifically intended for trolling rather than casting, ideally trailed about 100 feet behind the boat on light 8-pound-test line. The subtle scale pattern stamped into the metal body helps diffuse light, mimicking the natural shimmer of small forage.
