Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen, 3/16oz Hammered Steel fishing spoon #11749

Hammered steel textures catch the light across the face of this compact Luhr Jensen spoon, providing a multi-faceted surface that differentiates it from standard smooth lures. Weighing 3/16oz (5g) and measuring 1" (2.5cm) in length, this specimen is a prime example of the durable tackle manufactured in the USA. The reverse side remains smooth and polished, highlighting the quality of the metalwork used during its production. Sturdy split rings are fitted at both ends, supporting a dark-coated treble hook that remains sharp and ready for use. Collectors will note the precise stamping and clean edges characteristic of the 11749 product line. The condition of this specific piece is 5/5, showing no signs of wear on the reflective surfaces or the hardware. This small-profile lure is ideally scaled for targeting trout or panfish using light tackle setups.
