A prismatic, multi-faceted sticker adorns the front of the nickel blade, catching light from multiple angles on this 1/8oz (4g) inline spinner. Brass beads positioned along the wire shaft separate the stamped blade from the weighted red body, a hallmark of the Luhr Jensen Bang Tail 2 design. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure features a red painted finish that shows some light usage marks, placing it at a 4/5 condition rating. The business end consists of a treble hook dressed with red hackle fibers tied at the base of the body. Stamped clearly on the reverse of the blade are the brand name and the size 2 designation. This Luhr Jensen specimen, listed under Product Code 18823, retains its original factory wire forming and hardware.
