Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 1/4oz Red / Yellow / Black fishing spoon #0482

Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), this Luhr Jensen creation features a distinct high-contrast paint scheme on its 2 1/2" (6.5cm) frame. The front surface is divided into bold red and neon yellow halves, accented by a series of precisely applied black diamond patterns that give the Alpena Diamond its name. Identified by Product Code 0482, this American-made spoon includes a dark, polished metallic back that provides a stark visual profile compared to the bright face. It is equipped with a single, large hook and heavy-duty split rings, specific to lures designed for dedicated trolling setups. The paint on this specimen remains crisp and well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Every element, from the tapered spoon shape to the secure hardware, reflects the utilitarian design Luhr Jensen established for deep-water angling.
