Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Hus-lure, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #5620

Stamped clearly into the smooth gold finish on the back, the "HUS LURE" name and weight mark identify this vintage 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the front face features a distinct hammered diamond scale pattern designed to catch and throw light while submerged. This specific specimen from Luhr Jensen, carrying product code 5620, retains its original red highlights at the head, though their edges have softened against the Gold-toned body. Manufactured in the USA, the narrow profile was engineered to pierce surface currents and reach deeper holding zones. The hardware consists of a double split ring securing a standard treble hook to the rear. Showing some gentle signs of its history, the lure is in 4/5 condition with a bright, reflective finish. This design is primarily used for casting in streams where the current provides the necessary motion, or for light trolling applications.
