Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Hus-lure, 1/8oz fishing spoon #18140

A weight of 1/8 oz (4 g) makes this compact Luhr Jensen Hus-lure a specialized choice for ultra-light stream fishing. The silver body is framed by bold red bordering, while the reflective insert reveals a vibrant prismatic glow under specific light conditions, designed to catch the eye of deep-holding fish. At a length of 1 1/2" (4 cm), the narrow profile allows the spoon to cut through surface currents and reach lower depths quickly. This specimen, carrying product code 18140, is in unused condition and remains protected within its original vintage carded packaging. The design facilitates a chaotic, minnow-like motion where the lure darts forward and flutters back when the angler twitches the rod tip. Stamped with "Made in the U.S.A.," the packaging points to its origins in Hood River, Oregon, representing a classic era of Northwest tackle manufacturing.
