Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Les Davis Hotrod, 1/2oz fishing spoon #16404

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this metal spoon features a classic red face punctuated by a silver lightning bolt decal. The reverse side is stamped with the original Les Davis Hotrod markings, a nod to the brand's history before its association with Luhr Jensen. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the lure is built for casting and trolling, equipped with heavy-duty split rings and a silver-tone treble hook. This particular specimen, identified by product code 16404, was manufactured in the USA and maintains a high condition rating of 5/5. The paint remains vibrant, with the polished silver underside providing a high-contrast finish designed for visibility in various water conditions. It represents a functional piece of angling history from a time when these stamped spoons were staples in every Pacific Northwest tackle box.
