Museum Archive: Loco 3 Luhr Jensen, 3/5oz Gold fishing spoon #5895

Featuring a distinct hammered gold finish, this specimen exemplifies the classic craftsmanship associated with Luhr Jensen’s Oregon roots. The spoon measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length and carries a weight of 3/5 oz (17 g), making it effective for casting or trolling at depths up to 3.3 ft (1 m). Identified by product code 5895, the 'Loco!' design utilizes a dimpled surface to catch and reflect light, a technique the brand has refined since its early days on the Columbia River starting in 1932. This lure is unused and remains in its original vintage packaging, which features bilingual English and French text. The reverse of the carding details the manufacturer's history in Hood River, emphasizing the use of high-quality components. All original hardware, including the split rings and the treble hook, remains undisturbed within the factory seal.
