Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Les Davis Hotrod, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #17384

Stamped clearly on the reverse side with the model name and weight, this 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen identifies itself as a genuine Les Davis Hotrod from the Luhr Jensen lineage. The polished nickel finish is accented by a vibrant red strike-point dot on the front face, a classic design element intended for casting or trolling in various light conditions. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm), this lure includes its original hardware, featuring a bronze-finished treble hook and a distinctive pink plastic attractor tab on the rear split ring. This USA-made item, identified by product code 17384, remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5, showing a mirror-like surface and clean stamping. The combination of the metal flash and the soft plastic trailer creates a multi-textured profile common in mid-century hardware.
