Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Bang Tail 2, 3/16oz Nickel / Pink spinning lure #7893

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g), this specimen is a prime example of the Luhr Jensen Bang Tail 2 series produced in the USA. The 2 1/4" (6 cm) length is comprised of a nickel-plated blade featuring a prismatic light-catching inlay and a pink cylindrical body finished with a distinct black honeycomb pattern. Listed under product code 7893, the lure includes a factory-installed swivel at the line tie and a sharp treble hook dressed with a vibrant pink feather teaser. The reverse side of the blade carries the clear 'BANG TAIL' stamp characteristic of the manufacturer's early output. Showing a condition of 5/5, the lure retains a high level of finish across its metallic and painted surfaces with the plumage remaining full and well-preserved.
