Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Shot M5, 3/32oz Black / White fishing lure #8301

Stamped with the "HOT-SHOT" name across its wide diving bill, this 3/32 oz (2.5 g) plug represents a classic Luhr Jensen design manufactured in the USA. The M5 model, cataloged under product code 8301, features a high-contrast Black / White color scheme where the dark head and lip transition smoothly into a clean white body. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure is outfitted with a single belly treble hook attached via a metal swivel and a small, silver-finished eye. This specimen is in excellent condition (5/5), showing a remarkably clean finish and bright hardware. It is designed for reaching depths between 3-5 ft (0.9-1.5 m) when trolled or cast. The distinct flared tail and broad bill construction are specific to this model's build, ensuring it stays at its intended depth during use.
