Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring , 1 1/2oz Pearl fishing spoon #10241

Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/2 oz (42 g), this heavy-gauge metal jig is a quintessential tool for reaching deep-water predators. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) profile is finished in a classic Pearl white, accented by a striking red gill slash and a focused red eye to mimic a vulnerable baitfish. This particular specimen, identified by product code 4751-112-0087 (10241), arrives in its original factory packaging from the Luhr Jensen era in Hood River, Oregon. The hardware is remarkably robust, featuring a large single hook attached via a heavy-duty swivel and split ring to manage the torque of hard-fighting fish. Engineered for versatility, the slab-sided design is intended for vertical jigging, casting, or trolling across various water columns. This lure is unused, appearing exactly as it did when it left the production line. The back of the card highlights its intended lifelike body shape, a design choice Luhr Jensen perfected to provide a realistic appearance for both freshwater and saltwater game fish.
