Stamped clearly on the reverse side with the Luhr Jensen and Hood River, Ore markings, this classic spoon remains a staple for those who need distance in their casting. The face showcases a rainbow trout-inspired color scheme, blending a blue spine into a soft pink-lavender flank, finished with prominent black dots over a bright silver base. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the narrow, thick-waisted body is designed for reaching into the water column or punching through wind during long-distance retrieves. At the rear, a small red plastic attractor tag is paired with a sharp treble hook, while the nose features a pre-installed barrel swivel to manage line twist. This specimen, identified by product code 15979, is in excellent condition, rating a 5/5 with its vibrant finish and clean hardware. The Made in USA stamp on the back confirms its heritage from the original Oregon manufacturing facility.
