Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Little Jewel, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #15650

Gold plating covers the entire surface of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, providing a high-visibility flash for deep-water presentations. This Little Jewel specimen, identified by product code 15650, is unused and remains in its original factory packaging, warranting a condition rating of 6. The solid brass construction allows for a substantial weight of 1/2 oz (14 g), facilitating long casts and deep jigging depths. These vintage pieces were manufactured for durability, utilizing a solid metal body designed to resist corrosion over time. The yellow backing card highlights its utility as a multi-species tool suitable for trolling and casting. Originating from the Luhr Jensen facility in Hood River, Oregon, this lure is a staple of Pacific Northwest fishing heritage.
