Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Luhr jensen Bang Tail, 1/3oz nickel spinning lure #18902

Nickel plating on the hammered-style blade catches light from multiple angles on this vintage Luhr Jensen Bang Tail. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the product code 18902 and weighs in at a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g). The 3 1/4" (8 cm) profile consists of a weighted cream-colored body adorned with a single pink spot, followed by a treble hook dressed in natural brown hackle. Its construction features a factory-rigged swivel at the head to minimize line twist during a steady retrieve. The nickel finish on the blade shows minor signs of age consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, maintaining a clean and functional appearance for any collection. The body paint remains largely intact, preserving the visual contrast against the flash of the rotating blade. High-quality wire work holds the components in tight alignment, showcasing the durable manufacturing standards Luhr Jensen was known for in Hood River.
