Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond, 3/16oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #24111

Constructed with a weight of 3/16 oz (5.5 g), the Luhr Jensen Alpena Diamond stands out with its signature dimpled metal body designed to maximize light reflection. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon features a dual-tone nickel/blue finish, where the metallic silver face is accented by a deep blue stripe along the spine. This specific specimen, bearing product code 24111, represents the quality of Luhr Jensen's USA-made production. The hardware setup includes two strong split rings and a single, sharp hook, favoring a clean presentation during casting or trolling. The condition is a solid 5/5, showing a bright finish across the embossed diamond scales. Every stamped facet on the nickel surface is intended to catch the light, while the single hook provides a traditional approach for targeting trout and salmon.
