Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Luhr jensen Bang Tail, 1/16oz spinning lure #12683

Weighing 1/16 oz (1.8g), this vintage Luhr Jensen Bang Tail remains preserved in its original promotional packaging from 1993. A hammered gold finish on the blade provides the primary visual attraction, complemented by a dense black feathered tail on the treble hook. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the lure carries product code 12683 and represents a classic trout and panfish profile from the Hood River, Oregon, factory. Anglers and collectors will appreciate the period-correct sweepstakes graphics on the retail card, which once offered a chance to win a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The specimen is unused and remains attached to its original backing, reflecting a condition rating of 6.
