Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Little Jewel UV, 1/2oz Brass fishing spoon #13819

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vintage brass spoon shows the classic craftsmanship that made Luhr Jensen a staple for anglers targeting salmon and trout. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Little Jewel UV features a brass body accented by a bold yellow vertical stripe and a wavy orange midline. This specific specimen, bearing product code 13819, carries a condition rating of 4/5, displaying light signs of age that reflect its history as a model discontinued by the manufacturer years ago. Under standard light, the colors are vibrant, but the UV designation truly reveals itself in dark water or at depth, where the central painted strip emits a strong luminous glow. It comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail and another split ring at the nose for secure line attachment. As a product of the USA, it remains a sought-after piece for those who appreciate the legacy of Luhr Jensen's older casting and trolling spoons.
