Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Loco Lite, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #9700

Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g), this specialized Luhr Jensen Loco Lite spoon is built for finesse applications where a standard spoon might sink too quickly. The front of the lure features a striking diamond-checkered texture that catches the light at various angles, while the reverse side maintains a smooth, polished gold finish. This specific version, identified by Product Code 9700, measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and comes equipped with a single, sharp hook attached via a sturdy split ring, making it a responsible choice for catch-and-release fishing. Manufactured in the USA, the construction is robust despite its "Lite" designation, intended for both casting and trolling techniques in environments without heavy current. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, looking exceptionally clean across its entire surface. Anglers typically deploy this model for pike in quiet, shallow water reaching depths of approximately 3ft (1.0 m).
