Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Johnson Sprite, 3/5oz Silver fishing spoon #14551

Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "JOHNSON'S SPRITE" mark, identifying this as a classic spoon from an era when these Luhr Jensen-distributed lures were still manufactured in the USA. At 3/5oz (17g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the spoon offers the heft required for long-distance casting or deep-water presentations. The polished silver body is accented by a central strip of holographic prism tape, which provides a multi-faceted flash that catches light from various angles. This specimen, listed under product code 14551, comes rigged with a treble hook featuring a vibrant pink plastic teaser. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the lure presents in excellent shape with a clean, mirror-like finish and original components.
