Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Brush Baby, 2/5oz Tennessee Shad fishing lure #16972

Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), this Luhr Jensen Brush Baby (Product Code 16972) showcases the technical diving lip that defines this model's ability to navigate deep structure. The Tennessee Shad pattern is executed with a metallic silver shimmer on the sides, complemented by a dark grey back and a sharp black lateral spot. Detailed yellow eyes with black pupils, a curved pink gill slash, and a bright orange throat accent provide high-contrast targets for predators. This American-made specimen is rated at 5/5 for its condition, maintaining clean surfaces and sharp treble hooks. It is designed to reach casting depths of approximately 12ft (3.6m) and can be trolled down to 21ft (6.5m). The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks attached via robust split rings, with a line tie positioned directly on the wide, scalloped diving bill.
