Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond , 1/4oz Orange / Black fishing spoon #0438

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Alpena Diamond features a distinct embossed pattern that defines its name and utility. Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), this Luhr Jensen lure is a specialized trolling tool designed for deep-water presentations. The Orange / Black color scheme pairs a vibrant salmon-toned base with contrasting black diamond impressions on the convex face, while the concave side remains solid orange. Catalogued under product code 0438, this particular specimen represents the quality of the brand's USA manufacturing history. Attachment of a sturdy single hook via a split ring reflects Luhr Jensen's focus on dependable hardware for serious anglers. The finish is remarkably well-preserved across the entire metal body, showing a crisp and clear appearance that earns a 5/5 condition rating.
