Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hot Spot Apex 3, 1/4oz Light Blue fishing spoon #1170

Measuring exactly 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this vintage trolling rig is a prime example of Luhr Jensen craftsmanship from the USA. Identified by product code 1170, the Hot Spot Apex 3 displays a Light Blue upper body that transitions into a white side detailed with a reflective diamond-pattern scale finish. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the lure is rigged with a monofilament leader connecting to a sharp single hook and a series of ball-bearing swivels, hardware essential for managing line twist during trolling. As the specimen is unused, it retains its original factory finish with a condition rating of 5/5. The curved, spoon-like profile is characteristic of the Apex series, designed for use behind flashers or dodgers.
