Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Emerald, 2/3oz Hammered Copper fishing spoon #1997

Hammered Copper finishes like the one on this Luhr Jensen Emerald have long been a favorite for anglers needing a specific flash in various light conditions. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1997, remains in its original packaging and is unused. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) and weighing in at 2/3 oz (18.9 g), the lure is purpose-built for trolling applications where a steady presentation is required. The dimpled surface texture is a classic Luhr Jensen touch, designed to scatter light across the copper plating. The hardware features a single siwash-style hook and a robust swivel, highlighting the manufacturer's focus on durability for larger game fish. As a rare find from the Luhr Jensen catalog, this Emerald model is a clean example of the craftsmanship that came out of their Hood River production.
