Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Bang Tail, 3/5oz Gold / Yellow / Green spinning lure #8411

Gold finishes on the willow-leaf blade define this vintage find, which carries a clear "BANG TAIL 6" stamp on its brass-toned surface. Identified by product code 8411, this Luhr Jensen Bang Tail features a distinctive honeycomb scale pattern across its cylindrical body, blending forest green with a bright yellow belly. Weighing 3/5 oz (17 g), the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame characteristic of USA-made tackle from this era. The tail end is equipped with a treble hook dressed in a mix of yellow and green fibers, providing a textured trailing element. This specimen shows a high level of care, warranting a condition rating of 4/5. A hammered texture on the inner side of the blade provides a subtle visual detail designed to catch light as the component rotates during a steady retrieve.
