Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Luhr-Jensen Coyote Salmon , 3/16oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #20775

A slim nickel-plated profile defines this Luhr-Jensen Coyote Salmon spoon, a staple for many anglers targeting salmonids. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) and weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), this specific specimen features a classic two-tone finish. One side showcases a high-polish nickel, while the reverse is adorned with an orange-copper scale pattern that reflects light in a distinct way. It comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, showing the craftsmanship expected from a lure made in the USA. Identified by product code 20775, the Coyote is a specialized trolling spoon often used behind a flasher or dodger. The condition is a solid 4/5, showing only minor signs of its age while maintaining its bright metallic luster. The slender, thin-gauge metal body is designed for specific trolling speeds, a hallmark of the Luhr Jensen brand.
