Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Kwikfish K5, 3/32oz White / Black fishing lure #7809

Sporting a classic White / Black dot pattern, this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lure represents the smaller end of a legendary lineage. Tipping the scales at a delicate 3/32 oz (2.3 g), this specimen is designed for finesse applications when targeting species like trout, perch, or steelhead. Luhr Jensen, a name synonymous with Pacific Northwest fishing, crafted this specific Kwikfish K5 (Product Code 7809) in the USA. It is a floating model rated for a diving depth of 4 ft - 6 ft (1.2 m - 1.8 m), making it versatile for both casting and light trolling setups. Looking at the hardware, the belly treble is attached via a standard eyelet, while the front features a distinctive S-shaped line tie wire, a hallmark of the Kwikfish's banana-style body construction. The condition is a solid 5/5, showing a clean finish and well-maintained metal components that reflect its history as a functional tool for salmon, pike, and light-tackle enthusiasts.
