Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Les Davis Hotrod, 1/2oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #8254

Stamped clearly on the concave side of the blade are the Les Davis and Hotrod names, marking this 8254 model as a classic piece of Pacific Northwest fishing history. The high-luster nickel finish is accented by a single red dot on the face and a signature red plastic flipper attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the lure is built on a solid brass base, a hallmark of the quality production at the Luhr Jensen facility in the USA. This specimen remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with a reflective surface and clean, sharp hardware. The "Hotrod" text is crisp and legible, showing no signs of the wear often found on vintage trolling spoons.
