Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Loco 1, 1/8oz fishing spoon #5945

Hammered copper with a textured finish defines the body of this Luhr Jensen classic, which features a distinct series of black spots over a gradient of green and orange. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Loco 1 (product code 5945) was manufactured in the USA. Anglers traditionally utilize these spoons for both casting and trolling, particularly when targeting inactive pike in depths up to 3 ft (1 m) where there is minimal current. The metal's surface creates a specific visual profile in the water, further enhanced by the vibrant paint accents that respond to UV light. This specimen is in unused condition, preserved in its original bubble pack with the factory-attached treble hook and split rings.
