Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Loco 2 UV, 1/4oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #10000

Measuring exactly 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen carries a specialized UV-reactive finish that truly comes alive in low-light conditions. The vibrant yellow base is contrasted by bright orange-red spots, a color scheme engineered for maximum visibility when targeting fish in depths up to 3ft (0.9 m). This 1/4oz (7g) lure remains in its original vintage Luhr Jensen packaging from Hood River, Oregon, which identifies it as Product Code 10000. As a specimen with a condition rating of 6, it is unused and maintains the original factory luster across its curved spoon surface. The reverse side features a nickel finish to provide a metallic flash alongside the fluorescent paint. These lures were historically utilized for both casting and trolling techniques, particularly effective for pike or salmonids in shallower waters. The heavy-duty hardware and stamped metal body reflect the manufacturing standards of the USA-made era for the brand. The glow-in-the-dark properties visible under ultraviolet light make this particular variation a notable piece for collectors focusing on functional paint technology from the late 20th century.
