Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Little George Tail Spinner, 1/4oz Nickel spinning lure #16203

Hammered textures across the nickel-plated teardrop body provide a classic aesthetic that many veteran anglers recognize immediately. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Luhr Jensen Little George Tail Spinner, bearing product code 16203, is a prime example of American-made tackle craftsmanship. The design features a large, painted eye with a vibrant pink iris and a black pupil, which stands out clearly against the metallic body. At the rear, a dimpled Colorado-style blade is attached via a swivel, a signature element of this sinking lure's construction. A clean treble hook hangs from a split ring on the underside of the lead-alloy body. Rated 5/5, the specimen shows a bright, well-preserved finish across all its metal surfaces. This particular model represents the smaller profile often used to target schooling fish at various depths.
