Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Brush Baby, 2/5oz Tennessee Shad fishing lure #21134

A distinctive Tennessee Shad finish adorns this 2 1/4" (6cm) lure, featuring a pearlescent body with a bold black "kill spot" and red gill accents. Identified by product code 21134, the Brush Baby is a purpose-built deep diver from Luhr Jensen's USA production era. Weighing 2/5oz (12g), the construction includes an internal rattle system for acoustic presence under the surface. The oversized clear bill is designed to reach depths of 11.8ft (3.6m) on a standard cast, while reaching significantly deeper down to 21.3ft (6.5m) during trolling applications. Looking at the hardware, the treble hooks and split rings remain in good shape, showing only the lightest signs of use, earning this specimen a solid 4/5 condition rating. High-contrast yellow eyes sit just above the red gill slash, while the clear diving lip features a reinforced metal line tie.
