Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Les Davis Hotrod, 1/4oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #1615

Hammered brass finishes like the one on this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon were designed to catch and scatter light across the water column. This Les Davis Hotrod, produced by Luhr Jensen under product code 1615, features a distinctive orange strike point on the front face to focus a fish's attention. The reverse side is clearly stamped with the maker's mark and model name, showcasing its USA-made heritage. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure is rigged with a treble hook and a vibrant pink attractor tab that adds a contrasting visual element during casting or trolling. With a 4/5 condition rating, the specimen shows a soft character from age with minor surface darkening on the metal, while the split rings and hardware remain fully intact and functional.
