Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Loco 2, 1/3oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #0246

Stamped into the concave metal of the reverse side is the unmistakable "LOCO 2" identifier, marking this Luhr Jensen classic as an authentic piece of American tackle history. This specimen features a high-visibility Yellow base punctuated by five distinct Red dots on the convex face, a classic color configuration for murky or shallow conditions. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure's stamped metal body is built with a sharp trailing bend that defines its presence in the water. Designed to operate effectively at depths up to 3 ft (1 m), it is often employed for casting near cover or slow-trolling for pike. The hardware consists of a robust single hook attached via a strong split ring, ready for service. This lure remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the paint and metal showing a well-preserved factory finish. Collectors will find this specific variation cataloged under product code 0246.
