Luhr Jensen Needlefish
The Luhr Jensen Needlefish is a specialized trolling spoon characterized by its remarkably thin profile. This design allows the lure to produce sharp, wide oscillations when maintained at a trolling speed of approximately 2.5 km/h. Due to its lightweight construction, the Needlefish is engineered specifically for trolling applications where a delicate presentation is required.
Tactical deployment in cool spring waters remains a primary application for this lure. For those targeting lake trout, effective results are often achieved by running the spoon approximately 30 meters behind the boat. In these specific conditions, the Needlefish can be fished without additional weights on the line, typically utilizing an 8-10 lb test to preserve its natural erratic movement.
