Museum Archive: Loco 3 Luhr Jensen, 3/5oz Gold fishing spoon #13000

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17g), this mid-sized spoon features a bright gold-plated finish with a distinctively hammered texture across its 2 3/4" (7cm) body. Produced by Luhr Jensen & Sons in Hood River, Oregon, the Loco #3 is a staple for anglers targeting gamefish in both fresh and saltwater environments. This particular specimen is identified by product code 13000 and remains in its original vintage blister pack, which also displays the Glen L. Evans branding—a nod to the era when Luhr Jensen acquired the Evans line. The spoon is constructed with a curved profile designed for stability during casting or trolling sessions. Because this item carries a condition rating of 6, it is unused and has been preserved within its original packaging, maintaining the integrity of the metallic finish and the clarity of the carding. The back of the package provides detailed instructions for adding strip baits or pork rinds to the hook for additional attraction on slower days. A sturdy split ring is already installed, reflecting the high manufacturing standards Luhr Jensen maintained for their USA-made metal tackle.
