Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring, 3/4oz Pearl fishing spoon #16924

Stamped clearly with its 3/4 oz (21g) weight and model name along the body, this Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring is a specialized tool for vertical jigging. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the slab-sided body is finished in a clean Pearl white that mimics the subtle flash of forage fish. The lure's head features a distinct silver-based eye with a black pupil, complemented by a red painted crescent at the throat to simulate a gill. This USA-made specimen, identified by Product Code 16924, is in 4/5 condition, showing only minor surface contact marks and a clean overall finish. It comes equipped with a treble hook and split rings at both connection points. The heavy, streamlined profile is designed to get into the strike zone rapidly when fishing deep structure or fast-moving currents.
