Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Johnny Rattler Rattalur, 1/4oz Mirror fishing lure #7038

Red treble hooks contrast sharply against the reflective chrome finish of this vintage surface lure. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this Johnny Rattler Rattalur features a distinctive rear propeller designed for topwater agitation. The Mirror colorway is accented by a series of dark spots along the spine and large, expressive yellow-green eyes with prominent black pupils. Underneath, a subtle flush of red paint on the chin and belly adds a classic touch to the metallic body. As a floating rattle bait, it represents a notable piece of American tackle history from the Luhr Jensen workshops, cataloged as product code 7038. The lure maintains a 4/5 condition rating, showing only soft character marks on the finish while retaining its bright, reflective quality.
